Answer


It is a viscous colloid containing inorganic salts, antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozymes), immunoglobulins, and glycoproteins such as lactoferrin and mucins, which are produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes and submucosal glands.

Mucus has a reputation as a gross substance and is one that many people would like to avoid. It's actually a very useful material with important functions. It destroys bacteria and viruses, traps particles such as dirt, prevents water loss, humidifies passageways, lubricates the movement of materials, and protects surfaces from damage.

Mucus is a slippery liquid made by mucous membranes, or mucosas. The membranes line the passageways in our bodies that connect to the outside environment. These passageways include the nose, the mouth, the airways, the digestive tract and the reproductive tract. There is also a mucous membrane over the white part of the eye and on the inside of the eyelid.

Mucosas consist of thin surface layers on top of a supporting layer of connective tissue. Many contain glands that produce mucus, but some-including those in the urinary tract-—make no mucus or only a tiny amount.
