A

water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, hormones, electrolytes and cellular waste

18
Q

What is the function of the plasma?

A

to transport nutrients, gases, and vitamins
helping to regulate fluid and electrolyte balance
Maintaining a favorable pH

19
Q

Name the 3 proteins found in plasma?

A

Albumin
Globulin
Fibrinogen

20
Q
