The definition is limited to the mucus produced by the respiratory system and particularly that which is expelled by coughing("Sputum").

Its composition varies depending on a number of factors, such as climate & level of health etc. Its colour can vary from clear to pale or dark yellow & green, from light to dark brown.
Basically, it is a vehicle through which the body attempts to flush out foreign invaders from the respiratory system.

This theory posited that an imbalance among these humors would affect a person's health and temperament. Athena, as a figure from Greek mythology representing wisdom and warfare, did not have a role in the development or codification of medical theories. Instead, Hippocratic texts and later physicians helped formalize and disseminate these ideas in ancient medicine.
