THE SPELLING OF MUCUS GIVEN IS WRONG IT SHOULD BE MUCUS NOT MUCOUS............ PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANKS.............
Actually, mucus is a noun and mucous is adjective. For example, The secretion that comes out of your nose when you sneeze is 'mucus' and the lining of the nasal cavity that secretes mucus is 'mucous' membrane. So, both the terms are different and can be used depending on the condition.
