There are four main components to blood; plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The liquid that suspends the blood cells and platelets is the plasma.
plasma
The liquid portion of a clotted specimen is called serum. Serum is the clear, yellowish fluid that separates from clotted blood after coagulation. It contains water, electrolytes, antibodies, and other substances.
No, the liquid portion of a specimen collected in a tube containing EDTA is plasma. Serum is the liquid portion of a blood sample collected in a tube without anticoagulant. EDTA is an anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting by chelating calcium ions.
The liquid portion of the cytoplasm is called cytosol. It is a gel-like substance where organelles are suspended and where many cellular activities take place.
Decantation is the process of separating mixtures by removing the liquid and leaving behind the sediment. The liquid portion is called the decant.
The liquid part of the cell that contains all the organelles is called the cytoplasm.
The filtrate is the liquid portion that passes through a filter during the filtration process. The solid portion that remains on the filter is called the residue.
The liquid portion of a vaccine is called the diluent or excipient, which serves as a medium for the active ingredients in the vaccine. It helps stabilize and maintain the vaccine's potency and efficacy.
The solution from solid-liquid separation is called a filtrate, which is the liquid portion that passes through the filter and contains the dissolved components from the solid material.
Cytosol!!!
To obtain blood plasma, centrifugation is necessary to separate the liquid portion from the cellular components after the blood has been anticoagulated, preventing clotting. Plasma contains clotting factors, which are kept in suspension by the anticoagulant. In contrast, blood serum is obtained after allowing blood to clot, and then centrifuging the clotted sample; the liquid portion that separates is serum, which lacks the clotting factors. Therefore, serum is derived from clotted blood, while plasma requires anticoagulation and centrifugation.
A wet cell A cell that contains a solid electrolyte is a dry cell.
