fibrinogen albumins globumins(FAG)
Fucntions of Blood proteins>
Fibrinogen-clotting/coagulation
albumins-osmotic balance
globulins-defense mech.
(immunoglobulins)
Mineral Composition of blood znd their state in blood,

are always in transit
Clotting factors of blood are present in —-
Inactive form
Blood without clotting factors is called—-
Serum
Most abundant cells in Blood
RBCs
RBC and Hemoglobin levels in healthyhuman<
5-5.5 mil/100ml of blood
12-16g of hemoglobin/100 ml
RBC Birth, life span, death
Red bone marrow
120days
spleen(graveyard of RBC)
Why are leucocytes colourless.
No hemoglobin
Leucocytes are Nucleated.
(Just fkn remember that )
Granulocytes components and composition
Neutrophils(60-65%)
Eosinophils(2-3%)
Basophils(0.5-1%)
(NEB)
Functions of leucocytes and Monocytes and their composition out of total WBCs
Lymphocytes-Immunity-20-25%
Monocytes-Phagocytic-6-8%
