Is plasma a blood vessel?
No, Plasma is the liquid solution that blood cells are suspended in.

Blood is inside a blood vessel. Blood is made up of Red Blood Cells, White Blood cells, Platelets, and Plasma.
Give some common elements what blood be heart blood vessel?

What would happen if an injected solution were hypertonic to your blood?
If an injected solution is hypertonic to your blood, it means that the solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the blood plasma. This would lead to water moving out of your blood cells into the surrounding hypertonic solution to balance the solute concentrations, causing the blood cells to shrink or crenate. This can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to dehydration of tissues and adverse physiological effects.
Is 10gdL of NaCl hypertonic in blood?
It is hypertonic.
Is urine always hyper tonic to the blood plasma?
It depends. If the body is dehydrated, it will produce highly concentrated (hypertonic) urine in order to conserve water from the blood stream. If your blood is hypotonic (contains excess water), then the kidneys will release hypotonic urine, to reduce the amount of water in the blood. Therefore, if you are dehydrated, the urine is considered hypertonic to the blood. If not, the urine is hypotonic to the blood.
Do veins collect plasma?
No they do not. "Veins" are in fact, the blood vessel that moves blood to the heart so that it can get moved to the lungs in order to gain oxygen. "Arteries" are the blood vessel that moves blood away from the heart so that way the various body parts can gain that oxygen to do there thing.
A plasma protein essential for blood coagulation is?
Fibrinogen is a plasma protein essential for blood coagulation. When a blood vessel is injured and bleeding occurs, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, which forms a mesh-like structure to help stop the bleeding by trapping blood cells and platelets.
What does a hypertonic solution look like on a microscopic slide of red blood cells?
The cell would have fluid sucked through the plasma membrane and therefore the cell would shrink.
Why transfusion fluids are made isotonic with blood plasma?
Expand blood volume to help a fluid deficit. Isotonic is used because they don't move water in or out of the cell- meaning they are most compatible with human blood as opposed to hypertonic and hypotonic solutions.
What is the medical term meaning expansion of a blood vessel?
Dilation of a blood vessel is the term for physiologic widening of the vessel. Abnormal widening of the blood vessel through a weakening of the wall is known as aneurysm.Dilation of a blood vessel means widening of the vessel.
Is plasma in cooked cow blood?
Blood contains blood plasma, if you cook the blood then the plasma is still in it. However cooking denatures (changes) the proteins in the plasma.
