WHAT DOES SEROUS FLUID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Serous fluid

In physiology, the term serous fluid or serosal fluid is used for various bodily fluids that are typically pale yellow and transparent, and of a benign nature, that fill the inside of body cavities. Serous fluid originates from serous glands, with secretions enriched with proteins and water. Serous fluid may also originate from mixed glands, which contain both mucous and serous cells. A common trait of serous fluids is their role in assisting digestion, excretion, and respiration. In medical fields, especially cytopathology, serous fluid is a synonym for effusion fluids from various body cavities. There are many causes of effusions which include involvement of the cavity by cancer. Cytopathology evaluation is recommended to evaluate the causes of effusions in these cavities.
