A bogie is a wheeled wagon or trolley. In mechanics terms, a bogie is a chassis or framework carrying wheels, attached to a vehicle. It can be fixed in place, as on a cargo truck, mounted on a swivel, as on a train carriage or locomotive, or sprung as in the suspension of a caterpillar tracked vehicle.
A bogie in the UK, or a wheel truck, or simply truck in the U.S., is a structure underneath a train to which wheel axles (and, hence, wheels) are attached through bearings. If they are used there are usually two for each carriage, wagon and locomotive, or alternatively, they are at the connections between the carriages or wagons. The connections of the bogies with the cars allow a certain degree of rotational movement around a vertical axis. Most bogies have two axles, but some cars designed for extremely heavy loads have been built with up to five axles per bogie. Heavy-duty cars may have more than two bogies using span bolsters to equalize the load and connect the bogies to the cars.
Usually the train floor is at a level above the bogies, however, for a double decker train the floor of the car may be lower between bogies to increase interior space while staying within height restrictions.

A. A. Mucus is chiefly composed of proteins called mucins (above), salts and water.
In the human body, most of it is secreted by widely distributed cells called goblet cells.
Large quantities are made in both the intestinal tract and in the respiratory tract, and its many roles as a lubricant and barrier make it essential to human health.
Other cells in the salivary glands also make mucus.
The most familiar form of it appears with the sneeze, which is not a mere nuisance, but just the tip of the iceberg: a large supply of mucus that protects the lining of the breathing passages all the way down into the lungs.
It also flows and carries impurities away from the respiratory system to the stomach to be excreted.
One of the most serious maladies involving mucus is cystic fibrosis, in which an abnormally sticky form is made in excessive quantities and clogs the chest.
The molecular structure of a mucin includes a surface element that is essentially a sugar; this gives the protein the ability to absorb water. It also appears to help make the mucus resistant to digestion.
The mucus coating of the stomach lining is now thought to form a one-way barrier that protects the stomach from digesting itself while still allowing corrosive hydrochloric acid to be secreted into the cavity to digest food.
So there you go!
