plasmas

Blood's liquid portions

Plasmas is the plural of plasma.

In physics, plasma is ionized gas—matter so hot that electrons separate from atoms, creating a fourth state distinct from solid, liquid, and gas: The sun consists largely of plasmas.

In biology, plasma is the liquid component of blood, carrying cells and proteins.

Plasma screens use ionized gas to produce images.
