Study Notes
Functions of Plasma Proteins (PPS)
- Transport proteins: albumin, prealbumin, and globulins facilitate the movement of molecules through the bloodstream.
- Albumin maintains plasma oncotic pressure, regulating the balance of fluids within blood vessels.
- Defense functions are carried out by immunoglobulins and complement, which help to neutralize pathogens and foreign substances.
- Thrombin and plasmin are involved in clotting and fibrinolysis, ensuring proper blood coagulation and clot dissolution.
