Blood composition: (fig18. 1) determined by creating the separation in. 18. 1, the blood is centrifuged (spun in circles, and the layers are created including. Cell free plasma, wbc platelets, and packed rbcs. Hematocrit: the fraction of the total column the rbcs occupy (height of. Plasma: can clot, contains the fibrinogen protein.
