Answer: the primary function of goblet cell is to secrete mucin and create protective mucus layer.

Step-by-step explanation:
the mucus present in trachea traps dust and other small debris to keep it from travelling to your lungs. in trachea you have a small hair like structure called as cilia. cilia move in rhythm to push the mucus out of trachea so you either expel or swallow it.
