Plasma:

1. The straw-colored liquid that provides fluid nature to the blood is called plasma.
2. Plasma occupies 50-60% of the total volume of blood.
3. The proteins found in the plasma are fibrinogen serum, globulins serum, and albumin.

Fibrinogen serum:

1. During the process of blood coagulation, the fibrinogen is removed from the plasma.
2. This process results in the release of a yellowish liquid called serum, where fibrinogen is absent.

Serum is the blood plasma from which fibrinogen has been removed.
