This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Mucus mucins and sputum, mucus include Mucus constituents, mucocilliary clearance normally clears Mucus constituents, mucocilliary clearance requires balance between volume and composition of mucus, airway epithelium secretes mucus which functions of mucus traps particulates [ bacteria, smoke particulates] and aids their mucocilliary clearance, mucocilliary clearance requires balance between normal cilliary beat frequency, Mucins are large glycoproteins, composition of sputum, secreted mucins [5ac, 5b] on goblet cells and mucuous cells of submucosal gland, Genes include MUCs [ ,1 2, 5ac, 5b, 7,8,11,13,15,19,20], miRNA biomarkers of respiratory viruses in sputum 1 airway epithelium secretes mucus which, localization 1 membrance asso. mucins[1,4], large glycoproteins with repeating serine and threonine amion acids, MUCs [ ,1 2, 5ac, 5b, 7,8,11,13,15,19,20] encode three kinds of structural proteins, airway epithelium secretes mucus which general information Genes, composition of mucus, three kinds of structural proteins 2 non-gel forming [7], DNA, filamentouus actin proteoglycans, biofilms alongwith bacteria and inflammatory cells delays mucocilliary clearance, sputum contains DNA, filamentouus actin proteoglycans, biofilms alongwith bacteria and inflammatory cells, mucus is not equal to sputum, localization 2 secreted mucins [5ac, 5b]
