Blood plasma volume may be expanded by or drained to extravascular fluid when there are changes in Starling forces across capillary walls. For example, when blood pressure drops in circulatory shock, Starling forces drive fluid into the interstitium, causing third spacing.
Historically, blood was transfused as whole blood without further processing. Most blood banks now split the whole blood into two or more components, [18] typically red blood cells and a plasma component such as fresh frozen plasma.
Blood is a body fluid in the circulatory system of humans and other vertebrates that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells.
A blood product is any therapeutic substance prepared from human blood. [1] This includes whole blood; blood components; and plasma derivatives.Blood components include: red blood cell concentrates or suspensions; platelets produced from whole blood or via apheresis; Granulocyte, plasma; and cryoprecipitate.
Separating serum proteins by electrophoresis is a valuable diagnostic tool, as well as a way to monitor clinical progress.Current research regarding blood plasma proteins is centered on performing proteomics analyses of serum/plasma in the search for biomarkers.

Diagram showing the development of different blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells to mature cells.. A blood cell (also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte) is a cell produced through hematopoiesis and found mainly in the blood.
A thrombus (pl. thrombi), colloquially called a blood clot, is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis.There are two components to a thrombus: aggregated platelets and red blood cells that form a plug, and a mesh of cross-linked fibrin protein.
