Answer:

mucus

Step-by-step explanation:

These linings contain goblet cells, which secrete mucus to help trap particles and protect the cells of the lining. They are able to do this by secreting mucins which are large glycoproteins formed mostly by carbohydrates and are kept in granules inside the goblet cells. They are kept there until it is time to be released to the lumen of the organ in question.
