Hello!!!

Plasma is the straw-coloured liquid that makes up more than half of the blood’s volume.Plasma acts as a transportation system for everything in the blood. About 90 per cent of plasma is water and the other 10 per cent is made up of the various materials being transported by the plasma.Plasma brings nutrients like proteins, minerals, vitamins, sugars, and fats to all parts of the body and carries away waste products. Plasma also transports the red blood cells, which carry oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from our organs and tissues.The constant circulation of white blood cells and antibodies in the plasma allows them to go anywhere they are needed to fight invading germs; similarly, circulating platelets and clotting proteins will be activated wherever blood clots are needed.Proteins that circulate in the plasma include albumin, antibodies and clotting proteins. Albumin is the most abundant protein in the plasma, and helps maintain fluid balance in your body by keeping water inside the blood vessels. Antibodies make up more than one-third of the protein in the plasma. Clotting proteins in the plasma are required for platelets to form blood clots.

Thanks
