Compliment proteins are small molecules found within the blood stream. The help or "compliment" the abilities of phagocytic cells and antibodies.
The complement system is a group of small proteins helps or complent the antibodies or phagocytic cells to clear the pathogens. These small proteins generally circulating in blood plasma as an inactive form. complements are regulated by complement control proteins. complement caascade pathway activates various complement proteins.

Humans have both an "innate" and an "adaptive" immune system. There are a number of proteins circulating in the blood as part of the complement system that belongs to the innate immune system (although the adaptive system can activate it as well). Normally, the complement proteins are inactive. When the immune system detects some threat, the complement system is triggered and the circulating proteins are chemically split into smaller components. C3 convertases are chemicals that cleave C3 complement into breakdown products in both the "classical" and the "alternative" pathways of the complement system.
Complement is a collection of proteins found in the blood that are effective against a wide variety of bacteria. Complement can cause bacterial lysis when the C5-C9 proteins are activated by C3. The C9 proteins insert into the bacterial cell membrane causing lysis and destruction of the bacteria.
Proteins in the cells can be secreted out as intracellular proteins. Hormones, enzymes, and other proteins can be transported via blood stream and acts on distant tissues. when there is an injury or blood leakage appears in our hands lets say, proteins that does the blood clotting arrives there like a police to stop blood flow!
The group of proteins that are always present in the body to help white blood cells ingest microorganisms is called complement proteins. Complement proteins work alongside white blood cells to enhance the immune response by promoting inflammation, attracting phagocytes, and directly killing pathogens. They form an essential part of the innate immune system.

the complement system includes about 20 plasma proteins that normally circulate in the blood. the complement system provides major protection for our body.

An addiment is an alternative term used in immunology for a complement, one of several blood proteins which work with antibodies during an immune response.
