    Study Notes

    Plasma Proteins

    • The approximate concentration of total proteins in human plasma is around 60-80 g/L.
    • The main function of plasma proteins related to osmolarity is to attract and hold water in the blood vessels.

    Synthesis of Plasma Proteins

    • The liver primarily synthesizes all types of plasma proteins except gamma globulins.

    Carrier Proteins

    • Many plasma proteins act as carrier proteins for lipids, hormones, and vitamins.

    Synthesis of Gamma Globulins

    • B-lymphocytes (B-cells) are responsible for synthesizing gamma globulins.

    Functions of Plasma Proteins

    • One function of plasma proteins is to regulate osmotic pressure.
    • One function of plasma proteins is to transport lipids, hormones, and vitamins.
    • One function of plasma proteins is to provide defense against infection and disease.
    • The function of plasma proteins does NOT include platelet aggregation.

    Plasma Composition

    • The approximate percentage of water in the plasma of blood is 92%.
    • The liver is primarily responsible for synthesizing most types of plasma proteins.
    • Inorganic matters in plasma solids include electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, but do NOT include oxygen.
