bodily fluid
Biological liquid substance
Bodily fluid is any liquid produced by or contained within the human body—blood, urine, saliva, sweat, semen, tears, and others.
The term appears most often in medical and legal contexts: The lab tested the bodily fluids for toxins.
In discussions of disease transmission or crime scenes, bodily fluids take on particular significance.
