whole
What are the 2 componets of the blood?

Which substance is not found in plasma?

Plasma primarily consists of water, electrolytes, proteins, hormones, and waste products, but it does not contain these cellular components. Instead, formed elements are suspended within the plasma but are considered distinct from it.
What is the Thin whitest layer between formed elements and plasma known as?
