What is Plasma?
Plasma is the liquid part of your blood. It’s the clear, yellowish liquid portion of blood that remains after the cells and cellular components have been removed which includes the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Plasma is about 90% water and it makes up 55% of blood volume. Plasma contains cells, nutrients, proteins, enzymes, hormones, salts and more. Its primary objective is to move and transport material throughout the body to areas that are in need.
By doing so, plasma serves a variety of functions including helping to maintain a satisfactory and steady level of blood pressure as well as delivering proteins for blood clotting purposes and fighting various diseases. Plasma also helps to keep a pH balance, which is important for cells to function correctly for a healthy person.
The versatility of plasma makes it valuable for people who are sick. It is the essential ingredient for products crucial to treating patients suffering from many different life-threatening diseases and conditions, including hemophilia, shock or trauma, immune deficiencies and other blood disorders.
What Are Platelets?
Remember the last time you cut yourself? You can recall the sharp stab of pain, and the sight of blood slowly oozing out of the wound. As you reach for a bandage, you are probably hoping to minimize the mess of blood. But is your mind racing, trying to figure out how and when you will stop bleeding? Probably not, because you know that your body will take care of that for you. The reason we don't bleed to death every time we are cut is due largely to particles in our blood called platelets.
Platelets are tiny cell fragments that are found within our blood. They originate in the bone marrow as pinched-off pieces of larger cells. Platelets are neither smooth nor round, but are shaped more like paper that has been ripped into tiny bits. They spend much of their time cruising through the bloodstream alongside their red and white blood cell counterparts.
The primary responsibility of the platelets is to stop the bleeding when there is an injury to the body. A barrier called a blood clot must be formed to seal the wound. Just like a leaking pipe must be plugged, a damaged blood vessel must be blocked so that there is not excessive blood loss.
