Blood is both a tissue and a fluid. It is a tissue because it is a collection of similarly specialized cells that serve particular functions. These cells are suspended in a liquid matrix which is called plasma, hence, the fluid matrix of blood is called plasma.
What comes under fluid matrix?
This extracellular fluid matrix is a connective tissue carrying white blood cells, platelets, red blood cells, hormones, waste materials and digested food.
What is difference between fluid matrix and plasma?
Answer: The principal difference between the plasma and the extracellular fluid of the tissues is the high protein content of the plasma. Plasma protein exerts an osmotic effect by which water tends to move from other extracellular fluid to the plasma.
