Document Summary
Transport hormones from endocrine organs to target organs. Distribution, conservation, dissipation i. i. ph in body tissues. Plasma proteins, bicarbonate reserve - act as buffers i. Blood proteins prevent excessive fluid loss from blood stream. Produced in liver (except gamma globulins); functional proteins which remain in blood a. b. c. a. b. c. a. b. Colour is scarlet (o2 rich) to dark red (o2 poor) Male = 5. 6 l female = 4. 5 l. Straw coloured; 90% water and many solutes. Produced in liver (except gamma globulins); functional proteins which remain in blood. 90% plasma volume; dissolving and suspending medium for solutes of blood; absorbs heat. Help maintain plasma osmotic pressure and ph levels. Contribute to osmotic pressure and maintain water balance. Transport proteins that bind to lipids, metal ions, fat- soluble vitamins. Antibodies released by plasma cells during immune response. 4% of plasma proteins, produced by liver. Carrier of various molecules, impt blood buffer; major osmotic protein.
