what is snot
Snot is the slang term of nasal mucus. Mucus is the slippery secretion that is produced by nasal mucous membranes.These secretions typically contain water, glycoproteins, some inorganic salt, and antibodies or immunoglobulins that try to stop germs by killing them.he glycoproteins found in mucus are produced by goblet cells which are found in the mucous membranes. But aside from the nose, mucus is also produced in other parts of the body particularly in âmucus membranesâ located in the intestines, the stomach, and the eyes among various other parts.
