Based on quantitative studies of glands and goblet cells in the nose, sinuses, trachea and bronchi a short survey on distribution of mucus producing elements is presented and the density of glands and goblet cells compared between upper and lower respiratory pathways. The gland density is highest in the nose 8.3 glands/mm2 low in the trachea, bronchi and nasopharynx, but the gland mass per gland is 3-4 times larger in these regions than in the nose. In the paranasal sinuses the gland density is extremely low and the mucus producing capacity almost negligible. In the nose the goblet cell density is highest in the inferior turbinate, lowest in nasal septum.
基于对鼻、鼻窦、气管和支气管中腺体和杯状细胞的定量研究，本文对黏液产生成分的分布进行了简要概述，并比较了上、下呼吸道中腺体和杯状细胞的密度。腺体密度在鼻子中最高，为8.3个腺体/mm²，在气管、支气管和鼻咽部较低，但这些区域每个腺体的腺体质量比鼻子中的大3 - 4倍。在鼻窦中，腺体密度极低，黏液产生能力几乎可以忽略不计。在鼻子中，杯状细胞密度在下鼻甲中最高，在鼻中隔中最低。
