The moist tissue that lines some organs and body cavities (such as the nose, mouth, and lungs) and makes mucous (a thick fluid).

Membrane lining passages and cavities communicating with the air. Consists of a surface layer of epithelium, a basement membrane, and an underlying layer of connective tissue. Mucus-secreting cells or glands usually are present in the epithelium but may be absent.

What Are Mucous Membranes? Any of the membranes lining the passages of the body, such as the respiratory and digestive tracts, that open to the outside are...

A lining or membrane of all bloody passages that lead to the exterior; for example, the lining of the mouth and the lining of the vagina. The glands in the mucous membrane produce mucous.
