Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The liquid portion (approximately 90 percent water) of the blood is plasma. It contains dissolved substances like salts (electrolytes), plasma proteins, nutrients, hormones, respiratory gases and many cell metabolism products and wastes. The most abundant solutes are plasma proteins (albumin, globulins, and fibrinogen) in plasma.
