GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood is both a tissue and a fluid. It is a tissue because it is a collection of similarly specialized cells that serve particular functions. These cells are suspended in a liquid matrix which is called plasma, hence, the fluid matrix of blood is called plasma.

Detailed explanation-2: -The intercellular matrix of the blood is known as plasma. It is the blood’s liquid portion that comprises 91% of water and the rest of solutes and proteins. It comprises solutes such as nutrients, wastes, blood gases, electrolytes, and regulatory molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fluid portion of whole blood, its matrix, is commonly called plasma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plasma is a straw coloured, viscous fluid forming matrix of the blood. Matrix is the ground substance of a tissue/ a non-living substance occupying space between cells. Water-90-92% plasma is water.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plasma is a straw-coloured fluid that makes more than half of the blood. It is a fluid that is found between the cell spaces of a tissue. Its major role is to aid in blood coagulation during trauma or injury. Its major role is the exchange of nutrients and gases.
