Ian's Information on Plasma


 * Blood plasma** is the yellow [|liquid] component of [|blood]. It makes up about 55% of the total blood [|volume]. It is the **intravascular fluid(** that part of the total body fluid that is within the vascular system) part of [|extracellular fluid] (all body fluid outside of cells). It is mostly water (93% by volume) and contains dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors, mineral ions, [|hormones] and [|carbon dioxide] (plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation). Blood plasma is prepared by [|spinning a tube of fresh blood] containing an [|anti-coagulant] in a [|centrifuge] until the blood cells fall to the bottom of the tube. The blood plasma is then poured or drawn off.[|[1]] Blood plasma has a density of approximately 1025 kg/m3, or 1.025 kg/l.[|[2]]
