- Blood- Artificial or real?
- blood from donars
- can be separated into cells and plasma
- must be refigerated
- some blood products can be frozen
- the plasma can be given to patients in a transfusion to increase blood volume
- artificial blood
- perfluorocarbons (PFCs) may be used which do not need to be refrigerated
- it does not contain cells so blood matching is not necessary
- is expensive
- does not carry around as much oxygen as whole blood
- some types are insoluble in water and do not mix well with blood
- some cause unpleasant side-effect
- blood from donars
