Question

mucus n.黏液 (1) 咳嗽能清除肺里的黏液。(2) 其中五例为脂肪瘤，一例为黏液囊肿。 Even the history of the word mucus is gross — roots from Greek and Latin all mean “snot” and “slippery, slimy.” Mucus drips out of your nose and even slips down your throat when you’re sick. This happens because your membranes produce too much mucus when you’re sick. Mucus isn’t all bad though — your body uses it to help food go down your throat easier, and it keeps bacteria out. Mucus is gross, but germs are worse!
