What does MUCUS mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
A slippery, protective fluid secreted by the mucous membranes lining the nose, mouth, throat, and other internal surfaces.
Mucus traps dust, microbes, and other particles before they can reach deeper tissues, and its slick texture keeps delicate surfaces like the airway from drying out. The body increases mucus production during colds and allergic reactions, which is why a stuffy or runny nose is such a familiar symptom. Mucus is closely related to mucin, the glycoprotein that gives the fluid its characteristic thickness.
