In a centrifuged sample of blood, what should NOT be in the plasma portion of the sample? In a centrifuged sample of blood, what should NOT be in the plasma portion of the sample? albumin platelets electrolytes fibrinogen

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer will be option platelets.

Explanation:

Blood plasma is the yellow part of the liquid part of the blood which constitute about 55% of the total volume of the blood. The blood plasma contains important proteins which are - Albumin (60%)  , Globulin (35%)  and Fibrinogen (4%)  along with hormones, nutrients, amino acids and nitrogenous waste.

The centrifugation of the blood divides the blood into three parts:

1.  The lowermost part: occupies about 45% of the total sample composed of RBC.

2. The middle layer: occupies only  1% of the total sample composed of WBC and platelets.

3. The uppermost layer: occupies about 55 % of the total sample composed of blood plasma.

Since the platelets are observed in the middle layer after centrifugation, therefore, the platelets is the correct option.
