CHEMISTRY OF MUCUS. 349 Mucus is a more or less tenacious fluid, of a semi- transparent glairy appearance ; it swells up in water, but IS not dissolved thereby. The fluid differs in many of its characters according to the part of the body which yields it. The substance which gives to it the glairy appearance alluded to is mucin, a form of albuminous matter free from sulphur and very much like ' pyin ' in its proper- ties, excepting that it is soluble in excess of acetic acid. Mucin is precipita...ted from its solutions by alcohol, and by dilute acids (not in excess), but it is not precipitated by heat, tannin, mercuric chloride, or lead acetate. Mucus contains corpuscular elements which, under favourable conditions, may be seen to transform them- selves into epithelium cells, a number of which are gener- ally contained in the fluid. Mucus also contains small quantities of fat and extrac- tives, the chlorides and lactates of potassium and sodium, a little carbonate of sodium, and a trace of phosphate of calcium.
