Plasma

plasma

Plasma is produced in liver and it is pale-yellow liquid component of blood that normally holds the blood cells in whole blood in suspension; makes up about 55% of the body's total blood volume. It is mostly water (up to 95%), and contains dissolved proteins (albumins, globulins and fibrinogen), glucose, clotting factor, electrolytes, hormones, lipids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antibody and carbon dioxide.

It plays a vital role in an intravascular osmotic effect that keeps electrolytes in balanced form and protects the body from infection and other blood disorders.
