MYSTERY ROUND

Bodily functions

I'll describe some sort of secretion, excretion, discharge, or other gross bodily function, you tell me what it is.

For example, What is an extracellular fluid - people produce 1500ml per day - some dogs may produce more, especially if a bell is rung?

Answer: Saliva

1. Starts clean, quickly gets dirty, can smell after consuming asparagus, and falsely attributed to helping ease jellyfish stings

2. Fluid secreted, sometimes coupled with hogs or pants

3. Medical term for it is cerumen, a brown, orange, red, yellowish or gray substance - Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History, wrote that this substance cured bites from humans, scorpions, and serpents; works best when taken from the wounded person itself.

4. Slippery secretion that is also produced externally by snails and slugs to facilitate movement

5. Secreted by the lacrimal glands - found in all land mammals (except goats and rabbits) and crocodiles

6. Known as epistaxis, 60% of people experience it. Accounted for 4 out of 2.4 million deaths in the U.S. in 1999
