fluids
Liquids and gases
Fluids are substances that flow—liquids and gases, as opposed to solids.
The term appears often in medical and mechanical contexts: Drink plenty of fluids, Check your car's fluids.
Body fluids include blood, urine, and saliva.
The adjective fluid describes smooth, uninterrupted movement or flexibility: fluid motion, a fluid situation.
