This is called mucous. It is produced by body systems which have an outlet to the outside. This means that your digestive, respiratory, urinary and reproductive systems all produce this sticky stuff. Any others produce a watery substance called serous fluid. These serous systems are always sterile and the others are not. Mucous has a job of trapping bacteria, pollen or even insects and it tries to prevent them from entering the body.
