Study Notes

Plasma Proteins

Plasma proteins have multiple functions, including maintenance of osmotic pressure, transport of lipids and hormones, regulation of blood clotting, and defense against infection.

Concentration of Total Proteins

The approximate concentration of total proteins in human plasma is 6-8 grams per deciliter (g/dL).

Gamma Globulins

Gamma globulins are synthesized in the lymphoid organs and lymph nodes.

Functions of Plasma Proteins

Plasma proteins do not function as a source of energy for the body.

Synthesis of Plasma Proteins

The main site of synthesis for most types of plasma proteins is the liver.

Inorganic Matters in Plasma

Urea is an example of an inorganic matter found in plasma.

Osmolarity and Plasma Proteins

The main function of plasma proteins related to osmolarity is to attract and hold water in the bloodstream, thereby regulating blood volume and blood pressure.

Synthesis of Gamma Globulins

Gamma globulins are synthesized by lymphocytes.
