#11 Fascinating Blog : Ever knew the BlOOD composition ?

Do you steemians ever felt how the blood is composed of ? 

Lets see this example : A blood sample is taken out from your arms by a help of a injection . Then it is filled in a test tube where the blood does not clot and remains in a semi-liquid state. After this , it is taken into a centrifugal machine which moves in a circular direction . The test tube is kept and the machine is started . after some minutes , due to the action of centrifual force , the test tube form a 3 stage layer .

The top 55% denotes plasma :

 It is  colourless fluid present in a blood,lymps or milk that contains some suspended parts of fat globules or corpuscles . The plasma has a 90% of water . It interesting because , the major part of blood is plasma and the major part of plasma is water .

The Important and cellular parts of our blood ; White blood cells and platelets . 

The lower part 45% denotes the Red blood cells :

It's the most dense layer of blood and These red blood cells includes the red part Haemoglobin(protein) .This Red blood cells gives the hematocrit level. Generally calculated as 

Hematocrit level = Volume of red blood cells/Total volume .

So this all about this composition in todays fascinating blog.
