    Solution

    Goblet cells are mucus-secreting cells found in many parts of the respiratory tract, such as the trachea and bronchi, to trap and clear particles. However, they are absent in the terminal bronchioles , which are smaller airways where gas exchange occurs, and no mucus secretion is needed.
