Blood consists of cells and cell fragments pieces, collectively called the formed elements, carried in extracellular fluid called blood plasma.  Physical Features and PH The blood is denser, more viscous than water, and sticky. slightly alkaline within a narrow range of 7.35 to 7.45. It clots on standing, leaving behind serum. The total blood volume in an adult of 70kg is about 5.5L or 8 percent of the body weight (5–6L in an average adult male weighing 70 kg, and 4–5L in a female). Sources of blood sample 3. Arterial blood : when arterial blood is needed for special testes such as blood p H , an artery is punctured with a syringe and needle. This is not routine procedure. 4.
