The blood contains substances such as minerals, proteins and nutrients that are needed for the development of cells, tissues and organs.
Plasma is usually quoted as the substance that stays behind in the blood when the red blood cells are taken out. It is the yellow, liquid part of the whole blood, which makes up 55 percent of the whole blood, and it is about 90 percent water
Blood comprises of four main parts plasma, serum, red blood cells (cells that carry oxygen) and white blood cells (cells that fight foreign bodies.
Plasma is a transparent and yellowish fluid part of the blood. This is the part of the blood that contains fibrin and other clotting factors. About 55% of the total blood volume is Plasma . The main part of blood plasma is water.
Red blood cells exist in a disc shape while white blood cells exist in irregular shapes. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin while the contents of white blood cells vary with different types. Hemoglobin makes red blood cells red while a "buffy coat" gives white blood cells a white-like appearance.

What is the difference between the words sera and serum?

What is the purpose of thixotropic gel in an evacuated tube?
Thixotropic gel in an evacuated tube is used to separate serum or plasma from blood cells during centrifugation. This gel helps maintain the separation by forming a barrier between the serum/plasma and the blood cells, preventing contamination and allowing for accurate testing.
Is serum in plasma?
There is a difference from those different bloods serum is a type of blood plasma that does not have any clotting factors because they have been removed by letting the blood clot first before the plasma is seperated so i think you know the answer know hope this helps if not sorry!

What are the differences between serum and plasma?
Serum is the liquid portion of blood that remains after clotting has occurred, while plasma is the liquid portion of blood that is collected when the blood is anticoagulated. Plasma contains clotting factors, while serum does not. Plasma is used for tests that require clotting factors, while serum is used for tests that do not require clotting factors.
What is difference between serum and lymph?
Serum is in the blood vessels (circulating blood). Lymph is the plasma that diffuses through the arteries (used to be part of the blood) into the lymph system. Once it flows through the lymph system, it will rejoin with blood through veins.
