How is mucus destroyed?
Mucus is primarily cleared from the body through mechanisms such as ciliary movement and mucociliary clearance. Cilia, tiny hair-like structures on the surface of respiratory epithelial cells, beat in a coordinated manner to move mucus upwards toward the throat, where it can be swallowed or expelled. Additionally, mucus can be broken down by enzymes, such as mucinases, produced by immune cells, which help to degrade excess mucus during infections or inflammation.

How does snot develop?
Snot, or mucus, is produced by cells in the nasal passages and helps to trap particles like dust and germs. When these cells are irritated, such as by a cold or allergies, they produce more mucus, which can lead to an increase in snot production. The body then works to clear this excess mucus through sneezing, blowing the nose, or drainage down the back of the throat.
