Understand the composition of blood: Blood is composed of plasma and formed elements, which include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Recognize that plasma is the liquid portion of blood, which serves as a medium for transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste products.
Recall that plasma is primarily made up of water (about 90%), but also contains proteins, glucose, electrolytes, and other dissolved substances.
Identify that the formed elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets) make up the remaining 45% of blood volume.
Conclude that since plasma makes up the majority of the blood volume, it accounts for approximately 55% of the total blood volume.
