mucus plugging
Regarding mucus/mucous plugging....Maybe this will clear things up:
MUCUS: Mucus is secreted by the mucous membranes. It helps to moisten, warm, and filter the air as it enters the nose. Notice, the different spellings of mucus and mucous. Mucous is the name of the tissue; mucus is the secretion that flows from the tissue.
Therefore, in my opinion, I would type mucus plugging....Even though it is being used as an adjective, the mucus is what is plugging up the works, not the mucous membrane tissue.

Mucous versus mucus?
Subject: Mucous versus mucus?
I have a serious question about the difference between the spellings of mucous and mucus. Both are words. QA sometimes frowns on the use of mucous (wanting mucus), but I found mucous in the client samples. What is the difference? Can someone tell me when I should use one spelling as apposed to the other and/or which is correct and which is not?
Thank you in advance.

Mucus versus mucous
Subject: Mucus versus mucous
Down below there was a question about how mucous plug should be written. This is not an either/or question. There is a right and wrong, if you remember your sixth grade grammar.
Mucus is a noun (a person, place, or thing).
Mucous is an adjective (describes a noun).
It's cut and dry. Very simple. Mucous describes the plug. It could be a cork plug, gum plug, dyke plug, cement plus. All are adjectives describing the noun "plug."
If you need a refresher, let me share my Schoolhouse Rock from the 70s.
