Detailed explanation-1: -Plasma constitutes 55% of total blood volume. Composed of 90% water, salts, lipids and hormones, it is especially rich in proteins (including its main protein albumin), immunoglobulins, clotting factors and fibrinogen.
Detailed explanation-2: -The light yellow colored liquid on the top is the plasma, which accounts for about 55 percent of the blood volume and red blood cells is called the hematocrit, or packed cell volume (PCV). The white blood cells and platelets form a thin white layer, called the “buffy coat", between plasma and red blood cells.
