    Study Notes

    Proteins in the Body

    • Connective tissue is formed with the help of proteins in the body.

    Functions of Proteins

    • Proteins play a crucial role in the body, providing structure, function, and regulation of various bodily processes.

    Hemoglobin Function

    • Hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, carries oxygen from lungs to body tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs.

    Plasma Proteins

    • Plasma proteins, such as albumin, help maintain blood pressure and transport various molecules, including hormones, vitamins, and fatty acids, throughout the body.

    Antibodies

    • Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by the immune system to fight pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, and protect the body against infections.
