Typically, engineered wood products are made from the same hardwoods and softwoods used to manufacture lumber. Sawmill scraps and other wood waste can be used for engineered wood composed of wood particles or fibers, but whole logs are usually used for veneers, such as plywood, MDF or particle board.
Mucus is a slippery secretion of the lining of various membranes in the body (mucous membranes). It is a viscous colloid containing antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozyme) and immunoglobulins. Mucus is produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes that cover the surfaces of the membranes.
Mucus is produced in the airways and lungs and moved upward toward the mouth by tiny hair-like projections in the passageways called cilia. Mucus and cilia help to keep foreign substances, including allergens out of the lungs. Coughing also helps clear the airways of mucus.
