There are two types of Plasma.
Matter Plasma is a form of ionized matter stripped of electrons. This is what is found in the core of the sun.
A plasma cutter is used in welding, and superheats gasses to create plasma. See the article on "How Stuff Works".

However, another term for Plasma is the liquid component in the blood. It includes minerals, proteins, and clotting factors.
Perhaps the most useful part would be the clotting factors which can be useful for surgery or certain types of traumatic injury, or for the treatment of hemophilia, a disease that is characterized by a deficiency of clotting factors causing excess bleeding.

What is the general purpose of a Plasma Center?
The general purpose of a "plasma center" is to collect plasma from people for medical purposes through plasma donation. The plasma is then used to develop life saving therapies.
How do you make plasma and what are its applications in various fields?
Plasma is created by heating a gas to extremely high temperatures until it becomes ionized. This can be done using methods such as electric discharges or lasers. Plasma has a wide range of applications in fields such as medicine, industry, and technology. In medicine, plasma is used in plasma cutting for surgeries and sterilization. In industry, plasma is used for surface treatments and materials processing. In technology, plasma is used in plasma displays, semiconductor manufacturing, and spacecraft propulsion.
Why is plasma used to treat burns?
Plasma doesn't reall treat the burn. but it compensates the body for plasma lost through the burn.
Which gas dissolves into plasma?
Hydrogen, helium, and argon are commonly used gases that can be transformed into a plasma state when energy is applied. This process is often used in applications such as plasma cutting and welding.
Who used the term plasma first?
The term "plasma" was first used in the context of ionized gases by American physicist Irving Langmuir in the 1920s. Langmuir won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1932 for his work on surface chemistry and plasma physics.
How can plasma be used in a sentence?
I'm going to need a bigger plasma torch for this job... The plasma effect is a computer-based visual effect.
Could milk be used as blood plasma?
No, milk cannot be used as a substitute for blood plasma. Blood plasma contains a different composition of proteins, electrolytes, and other components crucial for bodily functions that are not present in milk. Using milk as a replacement for blood plasma could have serious health implications.
How do you extract plasma from blood?
To extract plasma from blood, a process called centrifugation is used. Blood is spun in a machine called a centrifuge, which separates the plasma from the other components of blood, such as red and white blood cells. The plasma is then collected and can be used for various medical purposes.
How can you explain why plasma can sometimes be used in the plural eg in the phrase rat comma mouse and rabbit plasmas?
In this instance you're not speaking about just one type of plasma ~ rat plasma, mouse plasma or rabbit plasma, but about different plasma collected from each animal. You have collected 3 different types of plasma.
