==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
[[Mucus]] is a sticky [[liquid]] made in the [[Breathing System|breathing system]] and [[Digestive System|digestive system]].
===About Mucus===
: [[Mucus]] is sticky to trap [[micro-organism]]s and dust to prevent them entering the [[lung]]s.
: [[Mucus]] is moved along by the 'cilia' on [[Ciliated Epithelial Cell|ciliated epithelial cells]] which sweep it out of the [[lung]]s to move the trapped [[micro-organism]]s and dust out of the [[lung]]s.
: [[Mucus]] should be [[transparent]]. If [[mucus]] is white, yellow or green it is a sign of an infection.
: [[Mucus]] is produced by a [[Specialised Animal Cell|specialised cell]] called a 'goblet cell'.
