Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasma is the liquid component of the blood and does not contain any of the formed elements (erythrocytes, thrombocytes, or leukocytes). Erythrocytes and thrombocytes would be found in the sediment, while leukocytes would be found in both the sediment and plasma. Agranular leukocytes such as lymphocytes and monocytes would also be found in both the sediment and plasma.
