Märkäeritteitä

Märkäeritteitä refers to bodily fluids that are moist or wet in nature. These can originate from various parts of the body and serve different physiological functions. Examples include saliva, which aids in digestion and lubrication of the mouth, and mucus, which protects and moistens mucous membranes, trapping foreign particles.

Tears are another type of märkäeritteitä, produced by the lacrimal glands to lubricate and cleanse the eyes. Sweat, secreted by sweat glands, plays a crucial role in thermoregulation by cooling the body as it evaporates. Vaginal secretions are a normal part of female reproductive health, providing lubrication and maintaining a healthy vaginal environment. Semen, a male reproductive fluid, contains sperm and other substances necessary for reproduction.

Discharge from wounds, such as pus or serous fluid, is also considered märkäeritteitä. This indicates the body's response to injury or infection. Similarly, nasal discharge, commonly known as a runny nose, can be a symptom of allergies or infections, helping to clear irritants. The consistency and appearance of märkäeritteitä can vary, and significant changes may sometimes indicate underlying health conditions requiring medical attention.
