Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plasma contains about 90 percent water, with 10 percent being made up of ions, proteins, dissolved gases, nutrient molecules, and wastes. The proteins in plasma include the antibody proteins, coagulation factors, and the proteins albumin and fibrinogen which maintain serum osmotic pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasma is the clear, straw-colored liquid portion of blood that remains after red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and other cellular components are removed. It is the single largest component of human blood, comprising about 55 percent, and contains water, salts, enzymes, antibodies and other proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plasma is about 92% water. It also contains 7% vital proteins such as albumin, gamma globulin and anti-hemophilic factor, and 1% mineral salts, sugars, fats, hormones and vitamins. Plasma serves four important functions in our body: 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plasma contains 91% to 92% of water and 8% to 9% of solids. It mainly comprises of: Coagulants, mainly fibrinogen, aid in blood clotting. Plasma proteins, such as albumin and globulin, that help maintain the colloidal osmotic pressure at about 25 mmHg.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plasma contains about 92 percent water. This water helps to fill up blood vessels, which keeps blood and other nutrients moving through the heart. The remaining 8 percent of plasma contains several key materials, including: proteins.
