	NFPS-401 Cervical Mucus
		Throughout the day the presence or absence of mucus will be recognised by the sensation at the vulva (the vaginal lips), the way the beginning of a period is noticed.
		Mucus is often noticed on underclothing, where it will have dried slightly causing some alteration in its characteristics.
		Fertile mucus maintains the life of sperm, nourishes it and allows it to pass freely through the cervix.

	Mucus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mucus aids in the protection of the lungs by trapping foreign particles that enter the nose during normal breathing.
		Mucus is made by goblet cells in the mucous membranes that cover the surfaces of the membranes.
		The hardened mucus that forms in the eyes during sleep is sometimes referred to as "eye boogers".

	MUCUS UPDATE
		Starvation-induced depletion of mucus glycoproteins further aggravates the lesions by increasing the vulnerability of the mucosa to acid and pepsin.
		Four months later, rats were anesthetized and mucus thickness measured directly on the gastric mucosa mounted luminal side up under a microscope; the lower firm layer of mucus gel was differentiated from the upper layer of accumulated mucus (which was gently removed by suction with a micropipette before measurements).
		Mucus samples were collected during routine endoscopy in 27 patients (12 Hp-positive, 11 Hp-negative, 4 excluded; CLO-test and antral mucosa histology), transferred in duplicate to cotton swabs and sent to the laboratory within 36 hours.

	Physiology of Airway Mucus Clearance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The airway surface fluid is present as a bilayer, with a superficial gel or mucous layer and a layer of periciliary fluid interposed between the mucous layer and the epithelium.
		Mucus is transported from the lower respiratory tract into the pharynx by air flow and mucociliary clearance.
		Mucus consists of a superficial gel or mucous layer and a liquid or periciliary fluid layer that bathes the epithelial cilia.

	Identification and Description of G, L and S Mucus
		E mucus was stimulated by oestrogens and G mucus by progesterone, G mucus being produced in G crypts, E mucus in E crypts.
		NMR studies indicate that the water of S mucus is associated with the mucus in such a way as to form a structure which facilitates the forward movement of sperm cells (Figure 8; Odeblad 1966a).
		The two variants of G mucus are produced by: the same crypts, depending upon the levels of progesterone in the blood.

	The Role of Airway Mucus in Pulmonary Toxicology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Airway mucus is a complex airway secretion whose primary function as part of the mucociliary transport mechanism is to to serve as renewable and transportable barrier against inhaled particulates and toxic agents.
		Vital to the role of mucus as a component of both lung defense and pathology are its viscosity and elasticity which, under normal conditions, permit mucus to act as an efficient "biologic conveyor belt," removing trapped and dissolved materials that enter the lung with inspired air.

	The Discovery of Different Types of Cervical Mucus
		Sperm cells were transported in S mucus, L mucus attracted malformed sperm and G mucus formed a plug in the cervical canal in the infertile phases.
		A mucolytic enzyme, probably emanating from the isthmus of the cervix, was associated with this mucus and facilitated the upward movement of sperm cells.
		This mucus is probably produced by fetal cells remaining in the wall of the neck of the uterus.

	Observing Cervical Mucus
		For example, mucus that is a 5 and 9 is your peak mucus, while a 5 and 10 would represent your cycle past your peak mucus days.
		Without cervical mucus, sperm can't survive or be transported to the fallopian tubes to fertilize the egg.
		If you don't notice any mucus, this is a sign that you may not be ovulating, may have a hormone deficiency, or may even have a vaginal infection of some sort.

	What's a Booger?
		Mucus is the thin, sticky, slimy stuff that's made inside your nose.

		The earliest way to detect the status of your mucus is by observing your cervix with a speculum or by reaching inside with two fingers and scooping some of the mucus off the face of the cervix and examining it.
		The use of antihistamines dries up the cervical mucus, which could be confusing for a woman who is using the mucus method as her warning for approaching ovulation.
		Fertile mucus may be present during the time of menstruation and be masked by the menstrual blood, so that she does in fact become pregnant from having unprotected sex during her period.

		If the results are poor, I know that a mucus interaction problem exists or that the test was performed at the wrong time in the cycle (the most common reason for a poor postcoital test).

	The Mucus Plug
		As she might have explained, the mucus plug is just an accumulation of secretions that form within the opening to the uterus, also called the cervical canal.
		The fact that mucus accumulates early in pregnancy is quite beneficial, as it serves to create a protective barrier against infection between the outside world and your growing baby.
		Sometimes moms-to-be may not even notice that they are losing their mucus plug because it happens gradually, over several weeks, and they've already grown accustomed to varying but increased amounts of the vaginal discharge that often accompanies a normal pregnancy.

		These cilia push a carpet of mucus out of the lungs at 20 millimetres a minute - like a rock star being carried along on the upstretched arms of concert fans - until it is swallowed.
		Children born with the disease produce mucus that is too thick and sticky, making it difficult for them to breathe.

	Re: What amount of mucus does the average person produce daily?
		MUCUS is a moist, sticky, clear solution formed from the hydration (the addition of water) of MUCIN.
		The 7 liters correspond to mucus, hydrochloric acid secreted in the stomach, bile secreted from the liver, and enzymes secreted by the pancreas, liver and cells types in the stomach and small intestine.
		Mucus is by far the most abundant substance secreted by mammals, with saliva in a distant second place.

		Most people have held onto the deeply held belief since their childhood days that drinking milk while you have a cold should be avoided due to the excess mucus it produced.
		Researchers backed up their claims by performing several double-blind studies that evaluated the mucus production in different people after they drank either a glass of milk or a placebo that tasted like milk.
		The one complaint researchers found in a study on milk were the participants reporting to have a "coating" sensation in the back of their throats after drinking a glass of milk, however there weren't any signs of increased mucus production.

	Coral Mucus Goes Mainstream - New Discoveries in Mucus-Hosted Microbial Communities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Corals create a mucus layer around them and use it like a slipcover; when too much dirt (sediment) collects on the mucus layer, the coral sloughs it off and makes a new one.
		The cover story of the March 4, 2004, issue of Nature was a paper that quantified the mucus some corals release and calculated its contribution to the nutrient and energy budget of the reef environment.
		Changes in the bacterial communities in coral mucus echo changes in the health of the coral, suggesting that bacteria are at least tuned to their host's metabolism and at most may have an active role in maintaining the overall health of the organism.

	Mucus Plug : American Pregnancy Association
		Throughout pregnancy, a mucus plug blocks the opening of the cervix to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus.
		Before labor, this mucus plug is expelled so that the cervix can open to allow the baby to pass through during labor and birth.
		Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and your body is starting to prepare for birth.
