And for further reading,

Ectoplasm is basically the stuff that ghosts are made of, its how they are able to interact and exist in a semi physical form in the world of the living... As per Tobin's Spirit guide (AKA Wikipedia)

The word is Greek. Endo, Ecto, Exo. Like endothermic and exoskeleton.

ἔνδον (endon, within, inside); ecto- comes from ἐκτός (ektos, outside of, beyond); exo- comes from ἔξω (exo, outer, external).

Ectoplasm in biology refers to the outer (thinner) layer of gel (cytoplasm) within a cell. The inner layer of harder gel around the cell nucleus is called the endoplasm.

Ectoplasm in spiritualism denotes a powdery or gel like substance or spiritual energy "exteriorized" by spectral emanations. It was coined in 1894 by psychical researcher Charles Richet.

I think ectoplasm and exoplasm could both be used, but the term ectoplasm stuck.
