The controlled release of a fluid by a cell or group of cells in a multicellular organism. The regulated release of mucus by the mucosa. Mucus is a viscous slimy secretion consisting of mucins and various inorganic salts dissolved in water, with suspended epithelial cells and leukocytes. The mucosa, or mucous membrane, is the membrane covered with epithelium that lines the tubular organs of the body. Mucins are carbohydrate-rich glycoproteins that have a lubricating and protective function. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of mucus from a cell or group of cells. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the controlled release of a substance from a cell or group of cells. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the controlled release of a substance from a cell or group of cells. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, any of the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The controlled release of a substance by a cell, a group of cells, or a tissue. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of mucus from a cell or group of cells.
