What are the comparisons of a plasma tv to blood plasma?

After researching plasma TV's and attempting to answer the question: do plasma TV's contain human blood plasma? - there has been no answer given to this vital question. Where does the plasma for plasma TV's come from? How is it created? How is it combined with other elements/components to create organic/plasma TV's? These are questions to which there is no answer given.


What is plasmaphoresis?

In plasmapheresis, antibody-laden blood plasma (the liquid portion of the blood) is removed from the body. Red blood cells are separated and put back into the body with antibody-free plasma or intravenous fluid.


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.


The removal of whole blood from the body and reinfusion of cellular elements suspended in a plasma?

The process you are describing is known as apheresis. During apheresis, whole blood is removed from a donor or patient, separated into its components (such as red blood cells, plasma, platelets), and then specific components are isolated and retained before the remaining blood is reinfused back into the individual's body. It is commonly used to collect specific blood components like platelets or plasma for therapeutic purposes.

Can Coconut milk be used for blood plasma?

Yes! used in the Pacific Islands during world war 2. To clarify, coconut milk (made from the meat of the coconut) can not be used as a substitute for blood plasma. It is the coconut water (found inside young coconuts) that can.


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.

Why are platelets and plasma used frequently in blood transfusions?

The platelets and plasma clotting factors are extracted from donated blood and concentrated for use. These factors are used to treat people with such clotting disorders as hemophilia.


What is in the blood?

Blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, and white blood cells. The red are for transporting oxygen, and the white are for killing things that should not be in the blood. The plasma is 55 % of the blood. The plasma is there for moving things that are not gonna be used anymore, like C02 urin, and milkacid.


What two types of blood specimens are used for most hematological tests?

The two main types of blood specimens used for most hematological tests are whole blood and plasma. Whole blood includes all components of blood, while plasma is the liquid portion of blood after cells have been removed.


How blood serum separated from blood?

Do you mean "Blood plasma"? During plasmapheresis, blood is initially taken out of the body through a needle or previously implanted catheter. Plasma is then removed from the blood by a cell separator. Three procedures are commonly used to separate the plasma from the blood cells: * Discontinuous flow centrifugation: One venous catheter line is required. Typically, a 300 ml batch of blood is removed at a time and centrifuged to separate plasma from blood cells. * Continuous flow centrifugation: Two venous lines are used. This method requires slightly less blood volume to be out of the body at any one time as it is able to continuously spin out plasma. * Plasma filtration: Two venous lines are used. The plasma is filtered using standard hemodialysis equipment. This continuous process requires less than 100 ml of blood to be outside the body at one time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmapheresis
