transport materials and maintain stable cellular environments
what materials are transported in blood
nutrients, oxygen, metabolic wastes, specialized cells that defend tissues
function of blood plasma
transport nutrients, gases and vitamins; regulate fluids and electrolytes; maintain pH
composition of blood plasma
water, proteins, and solutes
differences between blood and interstitual fluid
blood has:
greater O2 conc
reduced CO2 conc
significantly more dissolved proteins
solutes found in the blood plasma
waste, electrolytes, and organic nutrients
wastes found in blood plasma
urea and ammonia
electrolytes in solutes of blood plasma
Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cl, HCO3, HPO4, SO4
organic nutrients in solutes of blood plasma
lipids, glucose, amino acids
plasma proteins of blood plasma
albumin, globulins, fibrinogens
plasma membrane that is the smallest, maintains osmotic pressure, controls blood volume, transports fatty materials in blood
albumin
fatty materials that is transported by the albumin in the blood
bilirubin, steriods, and lipids
two types of globulins
immunoglobulins and transport globulins
globulins that are considered antibodies
immunoglobulins
globulins that transport compounds by binding to them; prevents; prevent the compounds from getting filtered out by the kidneys
transport globulins
plasma proteins used for blood clotting
fibrinogens
these proteins together create….
serum
knonw as red blood cells. make up 40% on the blood. contain a value known as hematocrit
erythrocytes
value within the erythrocyte that makes up 99.9% of all formed elements
hematocrit
