Making the Most of Mucus

Just the name itself will make you giggle. It's a great word that conjures visions of slime and unpleasantness. It is perhaps the most annoying part of having a cold or allergies. Mucus, however, plays a very important role in defense of our bodies and our health. In fact, it's high time mucus got a lot more respect.

First, there are some amazing facts about mucus that are worthy of respect. Humans produce about a liter of mucus every day, whether they are sick or not. Bony fish and some invertebrates (snails or slugs) also have mucus cells on the outside of their body. This external mucus creates a protective coating that prevents predators' toxins from doing harm. Humans produce mucus to protect our stomachs, our lungs, and several other systems.

We tend to not like mucus because it is a considered a symptom or sign that something is wrong. We usually only see it when we are sick, and so we tend to dislike it. According to Michael M. Johns, III, MD, however, "mucus is incredibly important for our bodies." Johns, an assistant professor at Emory University, calls mucus "the oil in the engine" of our bodies. Without mucus, our engines, or bodies, would freeze up and stop working properly.

Furthermore, mucus is not just the nasty gunk you see when you are sick. It lines the tissues in your mouth, your nose, throat, and lungs. It also is crucial in protecting your digestive system. Mucus puts a protective coating over the surfaces of these tissues, keeping them moist. Most of the time we don't notice mucus is making our lives better. It does its job quietly, making everything run smoothly, keeping our inner tissues soft and flexible enough to fight off invaders.

Occasionally, though our mucus-making membranes go into overdrive. If you eat a hot pepper, your mucus membranes in your mouth and throat start producing extra mucus to protect you. If you come into contact with pollen, you may get a runny nose and start sneezing and coughing. When these things happen, your mucus systems start making more fluids to wash away the irritating particles. Mucus also has some antibodies that increase our ability to fight off bacteria and viruses.

It's hard to appreciate what is essentially slime, but we have mucus for some very good reasons. It helps to keep us healthy and lets us know when our bodies are under attack. We would be wise to respect what our bodies do to keep us safe. So the next time you find yourself reaching for a tissue, remember mucus is your friend and ally.

What's in a Name?

Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.

(If you know the answer please answer my first question)

First, choose two sources from each of the research
documents provided on this page, and summarize each
source below, in your own words. Be sure to include
the title of each source in your summary.

Second Page:Source: “Acceptability of smartphone technology to interrupt sedentary time in adults with
diabetes”
Abstract
Breaking up sitting time with light- or moderate-intensity physical activity may help to alleviate some negative health effects of sedentary behavior, but few studies have examined ways
to effectively intervene. This feasibility study examined the acceptability of a new technology
(NEAT!) developed to interrupt prolonged bouts (≥20 min) of sedentary time among adults with
type 2 diabetes. Eight of nine participants completed a 1-month intervention and agreed that
NEAT! made them more conscious of sitting time. Most participants (87.5 %) expressed a desire
to use NEAT! in the future. Sedentary time decreased by 8.1± 4.5 %, and light physical activity
increased by 7.9± 5.5 % over the 1-month period. The results suggest that NEAT! is an acceptable technology to intervene on sedentary time among adults with type 2 diabetes. Future
studies are needed to examine the use of the technology among larger samples and determine
its effects on glucose and insulin levels.
DISCUSSION
The current study suggests that the NEAT! technology is a feasible and acceptable tool to intervene on sedentary time among adults with type 2 diabetes, who may be unduly adversely
affected by excessive sitting. Participants used the technology for an average of 21 days over a
1-month period and indicated that using the technology made them more aware of how much
time they spent sitting. Furthermore, the majority of individuals agreed that they would use the
technology in the future if it were available, further suggesting NEAT!’s acceptability. As smartphone usage in the USA continues to rise, this ubiquitous technology may provide an opportunity to intervene to improve the health of a large proportion of the population.
CONCLUSIONS
Given the expected rise in the prevalence of diabetes in the USA, as well as the strong detrimental association between sedentary time and insulin or glucose levels, innovative approaches are
needed to break up prolonged sedentary behavior among the large proportion of the population affected by diabetes. The results of this study suggest that the NEAT! technology is an
acceptable tool for use by adults with type 2 diabetes. Additional refinement of the technology
is needed further to optimize improvements in sedentary time, physical activity, and breaks in
sedentary behavior. Examination of longer-term effects of using the technology on glucose and
insulin levels is also warranted.

Imagine your school receives a large donation. The school board is considering three different possibilities for making use of the money: a new cafeteria, a new library, or a new gymnasium. Consider the state of these facilities at your own school, why each is important, and why each does or doesn't need the money for upgrades or repairs. Then, write a letter to the school board explaining your findings and expressing your opinion about which is the best choice to receive the donation.

Read these two paragraphs from a science course, looking for similarities in how the paragraphs are organized.

Light
Light passes through some materials without scattering. We call objects of this kind transparent. Clear glass and clear plastic wrap are two transparent objects. Other objects, such as wax paper or frosted glass, let some light through but scatter or block the rest. These objects are translucent. Then there are opaque objects, which do not let any light through. Opaque objects block all light. Instead, they produce shadows on a surface when an object prevents light from reaching that surface. You are an opaque object. So is a wooden door, a refrigerator, or a moose.

Sound
Sound travels in waves that are produced when something vibrates. Sound waves are invisible—we cannot see the movement of sound through the air with our eyes. Unlike light, sound needs a medium, something to travel through. Sounds can move through solids like walls or clothing, liquids such as water, or gases such as air. Walls, water, and air are all examples of different media through which sound travels.


Both paragraphs describe how a type of energy moves, or travels. How are the structures of the paragraphs alike?


Choose the answer that best compares the structures of the two paragraphs.

Both paragraphs start with a general statement about how the energy form moves—
then they get more specific.

One paragraph is about light and objects that interact with light; the other is about sound.

One paragraph starts with a concept while the other paragraph starts with an example.

Both paragraphs are about a form of energy that we use in our daily lives without thinking about it.

Why are six people living in a geodesic dome on the slopes of a volcano in Hawaii?
Passage: "Right now, six people are living in a nearly windowless, white geodesic dome on the slopes of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano. They sleep in tiny rooms, use no more than eight minutes of shower time a week and subsist on a diet of freeze-dried, canned, or preserved food. When they go outside, they exit through a mock airlock, clad head to toe in simulated spacesuits. The dome’s occupants are playing a serious version of the game of pretend—what if we lived on Mars?"
