Both cystic fibrosis and chronic bronchitis cause cells of the respiratory system to hypersecrete mucus. the excessive mucus makes gas exchange more difficult and allows bacteria to thrive, often causing secondary infections. what type(s) of cells in the lungs are responsible for extra mucus production?

There are two main areas in the lungs that secrete mucus. From the trachea to the major bronchi ciliated cells and goblet cells are present in the epithelium cells.
