Body Fluids
Body fluids, also called bodily fluids or biofluids are liquids present in the human body. Body fluids include blood, interstitial fluid, lymph, urine, saliva, tears, gastric juices, mucus, bile, cerebrospinal fluid, semen, and pus. Insufficient or excess body fluids may be related to medical conditions, diseases, and disorders.
