Recent data showed that cystic fibrosis airway mucus is anaerobic and contains low amounts of nitrate, which allows anaerobic energy generation via denitrification. We believe that including the mucus as part of the cervix would help in the understanding of these issues. Thus, it can be suggested that infection stimulates mucous cell production and immediate mucus discharge in untreated fish with an effective anti-parasitic response. Excessive mucus secretion is a physical obstacle which probably hinders nematode attachment and survival. The contents of these vesicles are secreted out into the glycocalyx and appear also in the mucus of the fish. The third experiment investigated ant reaction to earthworm mucus. However, after contact with the mucus, the ants retreated and exhibited antennal cleaning, especially when contact with the nectary took place soon after mucus treatment. The syndrome is characterized by irregular defecation, abdominal pain, bloating, stool mucus and fatigue. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease in which abnormally thick mucus is produced in the lungs and other parts of the body. The ciliated epithelial cells present sweep the mucus and trapped microbes upwards to stop them entering and potentially harming the lungs. We displaced the ants from the nectaries by gentle shaking and delicately rubbed earthworms on each nectary to apply mucus. The mucus and gill filaments were used for the experiment. The action of cilia moves the mucus along with the bacteria out of the lung. Perturbation of ion levels reduces the effectiveness of antimicrobial peptides and causes the mucus to become dehydrated and viscous.
