The " phospho-glyco-proteids " resemble the mucins and mucoids in containing a carbohydrate residue, but differ in containing phosphorus.

Mucoids resemble mucins in their composition and reactions, but differ, in general, in their physical properties.

Mucins occur in most of the slimy fluids of the body; they vary in composition with their source.

The mucins and mucoids belong to this group; they are acid and contain no phosphorus; they give the albumin colour reactions but are not coagulated by heat.
