Is the colon six feet long? The colon is longer in herbivores and shorter in carnivores, and is about 4 to 6 ft (1.2 to 1.8 m) long in humans. How many square feet are in a area of 25 feet long by 6 feet high? To find square feet, you multiply length by width so the answer is 25 multiplied by 6 or 150 square feet.
Plasma is the liquid component of blood, in which the red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are suspended. It constitutes more than half of the blood's volume and consists mostly of water that contains dissolved salts (electrolytes) and proteins. The major protein in plasma is albumin.
Platelets in the blood stick to collagen fibres that make up the vessel wall and this acts as a plug. From this point on enzymes (proteins called clotting factors) trigger a chain of events takes place to form a clot: Prothrombin converts to thrombin, calcium is required for this.lood normally remains in its liquid state while it is within the blood vessels but when it leaves them the blood may thicken and form a gel (coagulation). Blood clotting (technically blood coagulation) is the process by which (liquid) blood is transformed into a solid state.
