Question
What is the importance of the plasma proteins?
Solution
Plasma proteins constitute 6-8% of the plasma. Fibrinogen, globulins, and albumins are the major proteins of the plasma.
Following are the importance of the plasma proteins:
i. Fibrinogens - these are required for the clotting and coagulation of the blood.
ii. Globulins - these are involved in the defence mechanism.
iii. Albumins are required for maintaining the osmotic balance.
