Mucus is primarily cleared from the body through mechanisms such as ciliary movement and mucociliary clearance. Cilia, tiny hair-like structures on the surface of respiratory epithelial cells, beat in a coordinated manner to move mucus upwards toward the throat, where it can be swallowed or expelled. Additionally, mucus can be broken down by enzymes, such as mucinases, produced by immune cells, which help to degrade excess mucus during infections or inflammation.
being enveloped in additional mucus and swallowed into the stomach, where they are exposed to acidic digestive juices that can destroy them.

Mucus is that green stuff inside your nose. It's also inside your throat-it's there to (hopefully) stop viruses, bacteria and anything else that may start a disease getting inside your body. You swallow it and they get destroyed in the stomach. Mucus is the slimy matter secreted by your mucous membranes to provide lubrication and protection from germs. An example is the mucus in your nose.Mucus as in mucus plug, and mucus membrane.
The cells in the stomach have a protective layer to prevent self-digestion by the hydrochloric acid (HCl) they produce. This layer includes mucus secretions that help create a barrier between the acid and the cells. Additionally, the cells have mechanisms to regulate the acidity of the stomach environment to prevent damage.
The correct spelling is "mucus."
The word "mucus" is used with mucus membrane; mucus membrane secretes mucous.

Mucus is a noun.
mucus
The scientific name for mucus is "sputum" when referring to mucus from the respiratory tract, and "phlegm" when referring to mucus from the throat or lungs.
Bits of dirt and bacteria that get caught in mucus are usually moved by cilia towards the throat where they can be swallowed and passed through the digestive system. In the digestive system, the bacteria are destroyed by stomach acid and enzymes, while the dirt is expelled from the body through feces.
