Guest guest Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Dear Nirmalji I am not doctor but would like to share what little I know. The blood consists of a fluid of variable composotion called PLASMA. This PLASMA consist of A) Erythrocytes (also called RBC-Red Blood cells) B) Leucocytes (also called WBC-White Blood cells) c) Platelets. By using anticogulant the above three elements can be separated and the fluid that remains after separation is called SERUM. I hope this will helpful to you.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Dear Nirmalji, Please see the following details, if they suit your requirement : Human blood consists of constituents that are suspended and carried in a fluid called plasma. Plasma is a straw-coloured liquid consisting of water and dissolved solutes. The major solute of the plasma in terms of its concentration is Na+. In addition to Na+, plasma contains many other ions, as well as organic molecules such as metabolites, hormones, enzymes, antibodies, and other proteins. The concentrations of some of these plasma constituents are shown as follows: Haemoglobin 12-18 g/100 ml Bicarbonate 24-30 mmol/l Calcium 2.1-2.6 mmol/l Chloride 100-106 mmol/l Potassium 3.5-5.0 mmol/l Sodium 135-145 mmol/l Cholesterol 120-220 mg/100 ml Glucose 70-110 mg/100 ml (fasting) Lactic acid 0.6-1.8 mmol/l Protein (total) 6.0-8.4 g/100 ml Triglyceride 40-150 mg/100 ml Urea nitrogen 8-25 mg/100 ml Uric acid 3-7 mg/100 ml Plasma proteins constitute 7 to 9 percent of the plasma. The blood includes two types of blood cells: erythrocytes (or red blood cells) and leukocytes (or white blood cells). A cubic millimetre of blood contains 5.1 million to 5.8 million erythrocytes in males and 4.3 million to 5.2 million erythrocytes in females. The same volume of blood, by contrast, contains only 5,000 to 9,000 leukocytes. Each erythrocyte contains approximately 280 million haemoglobin molecules, which give blood its red colour. A molecule of haemoglobin has 4 molecules of globin and 4 molecules of haem. The haem molecule consists of a porphyrin ring surrounding an iron ion. Hence, the element iron is the critical component of haemoglobin in the blood. However, its percentage is small, compared with water, the major component of blood. M.R.
