Study Notes

Plasma Proteins

Gamma globulins are synthesized in the plasma cells of the lymphoid organs.
One of the functions of plasma proteins is to transport various substances, such as hormones, vitamins, and ions, throughout the body.
The approximate concentration of total proteins in human plasma is 6-8% (60-80 g/L).
Many plasma proteins do not transport oxygen.
The main site of synthesis for most types of plasma proteins is the liver.
Water is not included in the organic matters of plasma solids.
The main function of plasma proteins related to osmolarity is to help maintain osmotic pressure and regulate the distribution of water in the body.
Plasma proteins do not participate in the contraction of muscles.
Gamma globulins are primarily synthesized in the plasma cells of the lymphoid organs.
The approximate concentration of total proteins in human plasma is 6-8% (60-80 g/L).
