The definition is limited to the mucus produced by the respiratory system and particularly that which is expelled by coughing("Sputum"). Phlegm in essence is a water based gel consisting of numerous immuno-type substances. 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.
