Correct option is C
The correct answer is: (c) Plasma
The plasma is the liquid component of blood that makes up about 55% of blood's volume.
It is a yellowish fluid that consists of water, proteins (such as albumin, globulins, and fibrinogen), electrolytes, nutrients, hormones, and waste products.
Plasma serves to transport blood cells, nutrients, hormones, and waste products to and from the cells and organs.
Serum is similar to plasma but lacks clotting factors (like fibrinogen) and is obtained after blood has clotted.
Lymph is a fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, separate from the blood circulation.
Monocytes and Leukocytes are types of white blood cells involved in the immune response, not the liquid component of blood.
Information Booster:
Plasma is vital for maintaining blood pressure, circulating nutrients, and regulating body temperature.
Albumin, the most abundant protein in plasma, helps in maintaining osmotic pressure and preventing fluid loss from blood vessels.
Additional Information:
Serum is the part of blood plasma that remains after the clotting process, so it lacks clotting factors.
Lymph contains white blood cells and is involved in immune function, while plasma is essential for nutrient transport, waste removal, and maintaining the pH balance of blood.
