Of course, there is!

Plasma is defibrinated plasma (plasma minus fibrin& coagulation factors).

Hemostasis is defined as “cessation of blood bleeding”.
There are 2 types of hemostasis:
1. Primary hemostasis: formation of weak, temporary platelet plug (by platelets).
2. Secondary hemostasis: formation of stronger fibrin meshwork (by coagulation factors).

These algebric definitions should be inserted in the standard textbooks as a way to summarize the 2-3pages descriptions...very helpful...

Ive been stuck on this question for more than an hour and you simplified it in the best way. Thank you for the useful content 🙏🏻

[NigelXTufnel]

OK, good video, but it didn't answer my question. Should I buy a plasma TV or not?

[rosierose]

Always got mixed up between serum and plasma. I'd learn it and understand it one day, and the next day I'd be second-guessing myself and have to look it up AGAIN. Plasma - clot = serum makes so much more sense to my brain. I've spent 3 years flip-flopping serum and plasma and being uncertain... Thank you so much.
