Document Summary
Volume= approx 5l in women and approx 5. 5l in men. % of packed cells in total blood volume. Provide a colloid osmoic pressure that prevents excess luid from leaving capillaries (maintaining bv) Carbonic acid (co2 + h2o h2co3 h+ + hco3) Plasma proteins contain acidic and basic groups and therefore, can give up or rake h+ Abundant and therefore main contributor to colloid osmoic pressure. Bind to certain substances that are poorly soluble in the blood and help transport them (penicillin) Bind to some substances that are poorly soluble in blood and helps transport them. Each rbc contains approx 250 million hemoglobin molecules. Each heme group can bind to an o2 molecule. Hemoglobin can also transport co2 from issues back to lungs. Bufer ph change in blood (can bind with free h+ produced by carbonic acid. Also binds with nitric oxide, and release at issues causing vasodilaion (bp drops)
