What is plasma in blood?
Plasma is the largest single component of blood, and makes up about 55% of total blood volume and the remaining 45% are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets that are suspended in the plasma. It is a clear, straw-colored liquid, which carries platelets, red and white blood cells. It contains over 700 proteins & other substances. Once separated from blood cells, plasma can be used in transfusions or made into medicines.
Plasma serves some important functions in our body -

It supply critical proteins for blood clotting and immunity.

Plasma helps to maintain a proper pH balance in the body, which supports cell function.

It helps in boost the patient’s blood volume, which can prevent shock, and helps with blood clotting. Pharmaceutical companies use plasma to make treatments for conditions such as immune deficiencies and bleeding disorders.
What Are Platelets In Blood?
Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are tiny blood cells in our blood that form clots and stop or prevent bleeding. Platelets are made in our bone marrow, the sponge-like tissue inside our bones. Bone marrow contains stem cells that develop into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Platelets used for:
Platelets control bleeding in our bodies, so they can be essential to surviving surgeries such as organ transplant, as well as fighting cancer, chronic diseases, & traumatic injuries. Donor platelets are given to patients who don’t have enough of their own, a condition known as thrombocytopenia, or when a person’s platelets aren’t working correctly. Raising the patient’s blood platelet count reduces the risk of dangerous or even fatal bleeding.
