Definition:A tubuloacinar seromucous gland that is located principally in the submucosa of the trachea. Excretory ducts from this gland pass through the lamina propria to the tracheal lumen.
Comment:[function-note] "These glands secrete mucus, lysozyme, defensins, and other agents that help protect the lungs from particles and infectious agents."
Synonyms:exact_synonym: glandula trachealis;   tracheal gland
