Serum is a fluid similar to plasma but lacks plasma proteins like fibrinogen. Serum is obtained by allowing blood to clot, which results in the removal of fibrinogen and other clotting factors that are present in plasma.
Plasma is considered a fluid because it can flow and change its shape, similar to liquids and gases. It is made up of charged particles, such as ions and electrons, that can move freely, giving plasma its fluid-like properties. Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter, along with solids, liquids, and gases.
Blood is the tissue that has a fluid matrix with no protein fibers. It is composed of plasma, which is a liquid extracellular matrix that contains water, ions, proteins, and other substances.
In plasma, a typical body fluid protein would be considered a solute. These proteins, which include albumin and globulins, play essential roles in maintaining osmotic pressure, transporting nutrients and hormones, and supporting immune function. They are suspended in the liquid component of blood, which is primarily water, and contribute to the overall composition and functionality of plasma.
No, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) does not have the exact same composition as blood plasma. CSF is produced by the choroid plexus in the brain and is an ultrafiltrate of plasma with lower protein and glucose levels but higher chloride concentrations. Additionally, CSF plays a role in cushioning the brain and spinal cord, as well as removing waste products.
Plasma is actually a pale yellow fluid that makes up about 55% of a person's blood. The yellow color comes from the presence of the protein fibrinogen, which is a key component of blood clotting. Lipid molecules do not directly contribute to the color of plasma.

Ascites is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal space. Fluid enters the peritoneal space from the blood because of local hypertension (high blood pressure) or an osmotic imbalance in the plasma ( low plasma protein).
Lymph contains less protein than plasma because lymph is formed from interstitial fluid that leaks from blood vessels into tissues. This leakage results in the loss of some proteins to the tissues. Therefore, once the interstitial fluid enters the lymphatic vessels, it has a lower protein concentration than plasma.

Starvation causes the plasma protein levels to decrease, and when there is less plasma protein in the blood, you get lower Po (Osmotic Pressure). Lower osmotic pressure means less pull (of tissue fluid) so this causes generalized edema.so basically, less plasma proteins -> decreased Po -> less pull -> reduced venous clearance --> fluid build up in tissue

Dehydration. Your plasma is basically the fluid in your blood that carries your red blood cells, protein and white blood cells. To increase your plasma level drink a lot more water, because that is the main component of plasma.

Plasma is the component of blood that is made up of 90% water. It is a yellowish fluid, which carries nutrients, minerals, water, hormones, protein and waste products
