aqueous humor
This term is a specialized medical descriptor used primarily in ophthalmology and anatomy. It describes a specific biological fluid, and as such, it is treated as a mass noun. It is never used in casual conversation unless referring to a clinical diagnosis or a biological process.
Because it is an uncountable noun, it does not have a plural form. To refer to specific quantities or samples of the fluid, clinicians use partitive constructions such as "a sample of aqueous humor" or "the volume of aqueous humor."
