plasmic

Relating to plasma

Plasmic means relating to or resembling plasma—whether the liquid component of blood, the ionized gas in physics, or the cytoplasm of cells.

The adjective appears mainly in technical contexts: plasmic membrane, plasmic viscosity.

In biology, it often relates to protoplasm or cellular material.
