Plasma is the liquid part of blood in which blood cells are suspended Consists largely of water and dissolved substances
colorless watery fluid of blood and lymph containing no cells and in which erythrocytes and leukocytes and platelets are suspended (physical chemistry) a fourth state of matter distinct from solid or liquid or gas and present in stars and fusion reactors; a gas becomes a plasma when it is heated until the atoms lose all their electrons, leaving a highly electrified collection of nuclei and free electrons; "particles in space exist in the form of a plasma"
One of the four states of matter (The other three are solid, liquid and gas ) Consists of a gas of positively charged and negatively charged particles with approximately equal concentrations of both so that the total gas is approximately charge neutral A plasma can be produced from a gas if enough energy is added to cause the electrically neutral atoms of the gas to split into positively and negatively charged atoms and electrons See also: The Plasma State of Matter
The watery, yellowish fluid that carries white and red blood cells and platelets through the circulatory system Plasma is prepared for laboratory assays by treating whole blood with an anticoagulant and then centrifuging the fluid to separate out the cells
A variety of quartz, of a color between grass green and leek green, which is found associated with common chalcedony
the watery, liquid part of the blood in which the red blood cells, the white blood cells, and platelets are suspended
Plasma consists of a gas heated to sufficiently high temperatures that the atoms ionize The properties of the gas are controlled by electromagnetic forces among constituent ions and electrons, which results in a different type of behavior Plasma is often considered the fourth state of matter (besides solid, liquid, and gas) Most of the matter in the Universe is in the plasma state more!
The watery fluid portion of blood in which the corpuscular elements are suspended It transports nutrients as well as wastes throughout the body Various compounds including proteins, electrolytes, carbohydrates, minerals, and fats are dissolved in it
the liquid matrix in which the blood cells and blood proteins are suspended in It contains an extensive variety of solutes dissolved in water Water accounts for about 90% of blood plasma
The clear yellowish fluid portion of blood, lymph, or intramuscular fluid in which cells are suspended
