What causes human plasma to be green?
use of oral contraceptions
What causes the plasma membrane to resist freezing?
unsaturated fatty acid tails
What causes intact capillaries near an injury dilate leaking plasma blood cells causes the blood to clot?
platelets
Does plasma prevent the loss of blood by causing clotting?
Plasma is the liquid component of blood. It does not cause the clotting. The part of blood that causes clotting are the platelets.
Does plasma expand when heated?
Yes, plasma expands when heated because the increase in temperature causes the particles in the plasma to gain more kinetic energy and move faster, leading to an increase in volume. This expansion results in a decrease in density and an increase in pressure within the plasma.
What causes plasma to be thick and not separate when centrifuged?
Plasma typically remains thick and does not separate easily during centrifugation when it has a high level of proteins or lipids. These molecules increase the viscosity of the plasma, preventing the components from separating as quickly as they would in normal plasma. This can be seen in conditions like hyperlipidemia or hyperproteinemia.
What causes hemoglobin levels to go up?
It could mean your RBC count is high, and your blood is thick........You need plasma. You may have a disorder that causes your plasma to be low or that causes your RBC count to be high. It also could mean, If you are an endurance athlete, that you are "blood doping" with hemopoitin in order to augment your oxygen carrying capacity.
Can you do something to fix plasma screen damage after a knock?
No, in general, any blow to the screen that is sufficiently strong that it causes damage will have destroyed microscopically fine circuits inside the plasma screen.
What causes Plasma oncotic pressure?
The capillary oncotic pressure is higher because of the plasma proteins trapped within the capillaries. The high oncotic pressure pulls the water from from the interstitium into the capillary.
What might be a result of a disease that causes thickened plasma membrane?
Decreased movement of molecules entering the cell
What happens in each tiny fluorescent light in a plasma display?
In a plasma display, each tiny fluorescent light contains a pocket of gas that is turned into plasma when an electric current is applied. This plasma emits ultraviolet light, which then causes the phosphor coating on the screen to emit visible light, creating the colored pixel on the display.
How do you separate plasma from blood?
You use a centrifuge. This is a machine which spins the sample of blood round. This causes the different substances to separate. Hence, the plasma will separate from the blood cells (which are heavier).
