Mucus serves several functions in the body, primarily in the respiratory and digestive systems. In the respiratory tract, it traps dust, pathogens, and other particles, helping to keep the airways clear; it is eventually moved up to the throat where it can be swallowed or expelled. In the digestive system, mucus lubricates food and protects the lining of the stomach and intestines. Ultimately, excess mucus can be cleared through swallowing, coughing, or sneezing.
