B. the formation of blood clots :))
By simone :)
Hi rubyy!
There are three types of proteins that are found in the plasma of blood. They are albumin, globulins, and fibrinogens.
fibrinogens
Plasma-It carries fibrinogens Fibrinogens-Material necessary for blood clotting
Protein residing in blood plasma which converts to fibrin if blood clots.
maintaining the volume of water in the blood
plasma proteins determine......
Fibrinogens are the proteins involved in blood clotting and plaque formation.
Blood "plasma" is the liquid outside of cells. In it are various dissolved substances. There are inorganic salts, also called "electrolytes" which are present in the form of dissolved ions. There are also plasma proteins. Some plasma proteins transport lipids, which are insoluble in water. The only way the lipids can travel in the blood is if they are bound to proteins. Immunoglobulins, another protein, are also found in the blood plasma. They are antibodies that help fight viruses that invade the body. There are also blood clotting factors in the blood plasma. Other substances in the blood plasma are nutrients, metabolic waste products, respiratory gases, and hormones.
Kidneys do not form plasma proteins. All plasma proteins, or blood proteins, are made in the liver, the one exception to this being gamma globulins.
Blood is cellular material (red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma), water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, vitamins, electrolytes, dissolved gases, and cellular wastes. The cellular material is 99% red blood cells (about 1/3 hemoglobin by volume). White blood cells and plasma (92% water with plasma proteins - the most abundant solutes being albumins, globulins, and fibrinogens. The primary blood gases are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.
Plasma has much more proteins than lymph.
The cell membrane contains the membrane proteins that enable a hormone to selectively bind to its plasma membrane. These proteins, such as receptor proteins, are responsible for recognizing and binding to specific hormones, allowing the hormone to exert its effects on the cell.
