Saline is salt water, i.e. a solution of salt in water. The sea is saline. If another liquid has a high salt content, i.e. if it is 'salty' it is also referred to as 'saline'. Blood is saline.

In medicine. Saline refers to a sterile solution of sodium chloride (table salt) in water. It is used in emergency situations. A hospital might transfuse a Saline Solution to the patient, to temporarily replace any huge losses of blood, which loss may have occurred as a result of an accident, or which has happened during a surgical operation.

The person who invented the sea and the person who invented blood must be the person who invented saline.

Present day Saline Solution uses the same percentage of salt to water that first began to be used in 1884 as a substitute for blood during surgery, a percentage that matches the ratio of salt to blood in human blood.
