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.
engines, or bodies, would freeze up and stop WURING prope
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 hurnan-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.

How was johnny q. publics right violated ???

Life Without Rights for the Accused (Reading)

Directions: Read the story and underline the sections where Johnny’s rights are violated.

After searching his house, the captain announced, “Johnny Q. Public, you are under arrest.”

Johnny Q. Public dozed off to sleep while watching a crime show on TV. Suddenly there was a noise on his porch and then, “BAM!” Five men in police uniforms stood in his living room with guns pointed at him.

The captain shouted to the other officers, “You, go search the basement. You, search the garage. You, search the kitchen!

”“Wh-wh-where’s your search warrant?” asked Johnny nervously.

“We don’t need a warrant!” replied the police captain.

Johnny was booked and led to a prison cell. He wondered what he had been arrested for. “Guard, why I have been arrested?” Johnny asked each day. But the guards said they didn’t know.

Months went by. Finally Johnny was told that if he could post one million dollars bail, he could get out of jail until his trial. “I don’t have that kind of money. Can I talk to an attorney?” He’d beg, but the answer was always, “No.”

A year passed, and finally Johnny was transported from Virginia to Pennsylvania for trial. He found out that he was charged with shoplifting a t-shirt. As he entered the courtroom, he saw an empty jury box. He asked, “Where’s my jury?” He was told he couldn’t have a jury because judges were better at knowing when someone was guilty.

Then the state attorney said, “The prosecution calls Johnny Q. Public to the stand." Johnny didn’t want to testify. But he was told he would be sent back to jail if he did not. Johnny put on the best defense he could. By some miracle, he was found not guilty.

A month later, Johnny was arrested again on the same charge. He had to prepare for another trial. The prosecution had new evidence this time. Johnny wanted to question the prosecution’s witnesses, but the judge would not let him.

When it was time for Johnny to present his case, Johnny said, “I’d like to call my neighbor to the stand. He knows that I was at home alone that night." But the judge said, “Your neighbor didn’t want to get involved, and so he would not agree to testify. There’s nothing we can do.”

Johnny was found guilty. The judge asked Johnny to stand while he read the sentence: "Johnny Q. Public, since this is your first offense, you have been sentenced to five years in a maximum security prison.” Johnny felt dizzy and sat down. He thought, “I wish there were something that could protect me from these abuses!”
