MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Plasma is the largest part of your blood. It, makes up more than half (about 55%) of its overall content. When separated from the rest of the blood, plasma is a light yellow liquid.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Plasma is derived when all the blood cells-red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes)-are separated from whole blood. The remaining straw-coloured fluid is 90–92 percent water, but it contains critical solutes necessary for sustaining health and life.
