functions of plasma proteins
5.transport
serves as carrier molecules for subs like hormones & drugs
9.ESR determination
depends on the conc. of fibrinogen in te plasma
7.reservoir
pl.p forms loose bond with the hormones,drugs to serve as 'reservior'
1.oncotic pressure
*pl.p are osmotically active molecules
help maintain the vol of vascular compartments
prevents loss of fluid from capillaries to intestitial tissue space
3.immunity
antibodies are plasma proteins
4.coagulation
depends upon the conc of fibrinogen
6.buffering
helps in acid base balance o the body
8.synthetic
provide substrate for synthesis for protein hormones like erythropoietin
2.viscosity
pl.p contribute to about 50% o the blood viscosity
their molecular shape helps
fibrinogen is elongated & fibrilla in shape-contributes more to blood viscosity than albumin
