| edge plasma | <radiobiology> Cooler, less dense plasma away from the centre of a reactor, affected by limiter or divertor, includes scrape-off layer. Distinguished from core plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |

| effective renal plasma flow | <physiology> The amount of plasma flowing to the parts of the kidney that have a function in the production of constituents of urine; the clearance of substances such as iodopyracet and p-aminohippuric acid, assuming that the extraction ratio in the peritubular capillaries is 100%. It is the amount of plasma perfusing the kidney tubules per unit time, generally measured by p-aminohippurate clearance. It should be differentiated from renal plasma flow which is approximately 10% greater than the effective renal plasma flow. (07 Mar 2000) |
| two-component plasma | <radiobiology> Refers to a plasma containing a cool thermal component and a population of high energy particles (such as from neutral beam injection) which are in the process of thermalising (slowing down). (09 Oct 1997) |
| kern-plasma relation theory | A theory enunciated by Hertwig (1903) that a definite relation as to size normally exists in every cell between the mass of nuclear material and that of the protoplasm. Origin: Ger. Kern, kernel, nucleus (05 Mar 2000) |
| fresh frozen plasma | The fluid component of blood lacking the cells but containing all the necessary plasma proteins, used to restore the protein clotting factors in some individuals with clotting factor deficiencies. (27 Sep 1997) |
