Abstract
THE urge to regard vertebrate blood plasma as a descendant of protozoon cytoplasm is an old one. It is supported by discovery of various similarities between the clotting of plasma when shed, and that of cytoplasm when extruded. Both need calcium ions, yield similar (thromboplastin) enzymes, are accelerated by thrombin and in some cases inhibited by heparin1.
