Where is the tracheal submucosal gland ciliated duct located?
Located in the submucosa of the trachea, these ducts penetrate the tracheal mucosa at regular intervals along the entire length of the trachea.
What is the function of the tracheal submucosal gland ciliated duct?
The duct delivers mucus secretions from tracheal submucosal glands into the tracheal lumen where ciliated epithelium moves the mucus toward the larynx.
