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).
