| | The Role of Airway Mucus in Pulmonary Toxicology |
 | | The amount of time elapsed between the deformation of mucus and its recoil to its original shape is refered to as the relaxation time, which has been measured to be approximately 30 sec for mucus (60). | | | These changes can be either qualitative, i.e., changes in mucus composition or structure, or quantitative, i.e., changes in the amount of mucus in the lung. | | | Both myelinated and unmyelinated (C-fibers) neuronal pathways may be involved in the discharge of mucus in the airway (3,64,105). |

And for someone with cystic fibrosis, mucus may be critical in preventing infections in their lungs, if it proves to help in fighting the bacteria that is produced in their airways. | | | First and most importantly, it will need to be corroborated in other laboratories using samples from a larger patient group. |
