What is the blood composition?
What are the components of the blood plasma?
What are the three major categories of plasma proteins? and their functions?
What plasma protein is the most abundant, contributes to viscosity and osmolarity, and influences blood pressure, flow, and fluid balance?
Albumins
provide immune system functions (antibodies)
Globulins
precursor of fibrin threads that help form blood clots
fibrinogen
identical to plasma except for the absence of fibrinogen
serum
