All About Plasma (Blood Plasma):
-
Facts: Plasma is the pale yellow liquid in your blood that acts as a "river" for transporting red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets throughout the body. It’s more than just a carrier; plasma also regulates blood pressure, temperature, and waste removal, while transporting essential substances like enzymes, clotting factors, antibodies, lipids, hormones, vitamins, and minerals.
-
Historical Significance: During World War II, a technique was developed to preserve plasma by drying and later rehydrating it with distilled water. This innovation by Dr. Charles Drew saved countless lives during the war.
-
Blood Banks and Donations: Plasma can be frozen and stored for up to ten years. However, fresh supplies are always in demand, especially type AB plasma, which is a universal donor for plasma transfusions.
Cultural Connections:
Did you know? "Plasma" is also the name of a German electro-rock band, and an artist once explored the boundary between humans and animals by injecting herself with horse blood plasma.
