Brief Explanations
When blood is centrifuged, it separates into layers. The buffy coat is the thin, clear middle layer. White blood cells (leukocytes) and platelets (thrombocytes) are less dense than red blood cells but more dense than plasma. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) form the bottom layer due to their higher density.
