What does exudate mean in medical terms?

Answer 1

The word 'exudate' is used to refer to liquids that enter injured parts of the body from the circulatory system, typically leaving the body from this location. For example, the sap that oozes from an injured tree is exudate, as is pus from an inflamed part of the human body.

Exudate is a medical term for any foreign material, whether liquid, semisolid, or solid, which exits a ductway or broken area anywhere within the body, most notably the skin.
