Difference between serum lymph plasma

Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

• Plasma makes up about 55% of the overall blood volume. It is the liquid portion of blood and is 90% water. Other than water, plasma also contains fibrinogen (which contributes to the normal clotting of blood) and albumin (which acts to keep fluid in your bloodstream and prevent leaking into other tissues). The purpose of plasma in the blood is to transport all the proteins, nutrients, antibodies, hormones etc. all over the body. As the plasma races around the body, cells will deposit their waste into the plasma, which contributes to another job of the plasma: waste removal.
• Serum is plasma minus the clotting factors and blood cells. During the process of removing the clotting factors (achieved by centrifugation), the protein fibrinogen as described above is converted to fibrin. Fibrin is an insoluble protein that is used to assist in the repair of tissue damage by forming a clot over the wound which acts to hinder the flow of blood.
• Lymph is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a system composed of lymph vessels (channels) and intervening lymph nodes whose function, like the venous system, is to return fluid from the tissues to the central circulation.
