Abstract
The mucin component of human bronchial secretions consists of glycoproteins of high molecular weight, synthesised and secreted both by goblet cells, present in the airway epithelium, and mucous and serous cells of the bronchial glands. Mucus hypersecretion in chronic bronchitis is characterised by an increase in the number of goblet cells and in the size and rate of secretion of the bronchial glands (Reid, 1954, Sturgess and Reid, 1972a).
