body fluids
Blood, sweat, tears
Body fluids are the liquids produced by or contained within the human body, including blood, urine, saliva, sweat, tears, and sexual secretions.
In medical and legal contexts, body fluids matter for diagnostics, disease transmission, and forensic evidence.
The term often appears in workplace safety guidelines about handling potentially infectious materials.
