  1. i don't know.


  2. The matrix of blood is called plasma. All  of the kinds of blood cells (red, white, and platelets) are suspended in blood plasma, along with various dissolved solutes such as Na+ and clotting factors. The main difference between this matrix and those of other tissues is that plasma is liquid, whereas other types of tissues have solid or semisolid matrices. Plasma also doesn't remain solely in the circulatory system - a small amount is squeezed out of the capillaries. This plasma-derived fluid makes up the interstitial fluid (fluid between the cells of other tissues) and is a component of lymph.
