    Introduction: Cystic fibrosis (CF) also known as mucoviscidosis is an inherited disease that causes the body to produce mucus that’s extremely thick and sticky. The mucus in people with CF is thicker than normal because CF affects cells in the epithelium‚ the layer of cells that lines the passages in the body’s organs. In a person who does not have CF‚ the epithelial cells produce a thin‚ watery mucus that acts like a lubricant and helps protect the body’s tissues. In a person with CF‚ however

    Cystic fibrosis is when thick mucus is produced due to a hereditary genetic disorder; the mucus produced is so thick that it clogs the body’s tubes and passageways. Cystic fibrosis is caused by the mutation in a gene known as the CFTR gene; this fault in the gene causes the normal workings of a protein to be blocked allowing too much salt and not enough water into cells. These result in the build-up of thick mucus in the body’s tubes and passageways blocking them‚ these blockages damage the lungs
