Plasma is slightly alkaline non-living intercellular substance which constitutes about 55% part of the blood. It is a pale yellow but transparent and clear fluid. Water alone forms about 90-92% of the plasma. Plasma proteins constitutes about 7 to 8% of plasma. These mainly include albumin, globulin, prothrombin and fibrinogen.
