This is the mucus membrane.

Mucus membranes are found lining the body canals and cavities that lead to the outside  namely the respiratory tract and digestive tract as well as the urogenital tract.

Mucous membranes secrete a sticky substance called mucus which is made of a monopoly saccharide called mucin.
