What Is Transported In The Plasma?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Blood is composed of two general parts:  The formed elements (RBC, WBC, Platelets) and plasma.

    RBC's have a transportation function related to oxygen and to a smaller extent carbon dioxide but other than that virtually everything is transported in the plasma.


    These things include:

    Proteins produced in the body (particularly the liver)

    Nutrients absorbed from digested food from the small intestine

    Hormones

    Ions (electrolytes)

    Gases and waste products
