Blood is a fluid connective tissue consisting of a fluid matrix called plasma and formed elements. The formed elements include erythrocytes, WBCs and platelets.

Plasma has various components such as water, minerals, digested food materials (glucose, amino acids), oxygen, carbon dioxide, proteins, etc

Proteins found in plasma:

• Fibrinogens are required for clotting or coagulation of blood.
• Globulins are involved in defense mechanisms of the body. Example: immunoglobulins (antibodies).
• Albumins help in osmotic balance.
