Extravasate for Dummies

Alright, so "extravasate" is a big word, but I'm here to help you understand it in a simple way. When we say "extravasate," we're talking about something moving or escaping from its usual place. It's like when you have a glass of water and some of it spills out onto the table, that water is "extravasating" from the glass.

Now, let me break it down a bit more. In the medical world, "extravasate" means when something, like fluid or blood, leaks out of a blood vessel and spreads into the surrounding tissues. It's kind of like a river overflowing its banks and seeping into the land around it.

So, to sum it up, "extravasate" is all about things moving or leaking out of where they're supposed to be. It's like when you have a full water balloon and it bursts, and the water goes everywhere instead of staying in the balloon. I hope that makes sense!
