What does SEROUS mean in Scrabble?
adjective
medicaltechnical
Relating to, resembling, or producing a thin, watery fluid similar to blood serum.
Serous describes fluid, glands, or membranes that produce a clear, watery secretion rather than a thick one, in contrast to the sticky secretion called mucous. A serous membrane, for example, lines body cavities and constantly releases a thin lubricating fluid so that internal organs can move against one another without friction. Doctors also use serous to describe a blister or discharge that contains this watery fluid rather than blood or pus, which can help identify the nature of an injury or infection. The word derives from the same Latin root as serum, the pale liquid that separates from clotted blood.
How SEROUS is used
