28mm hg
Blood pH can be slightly acidic or slightly basic at 7.35. True or False
FALSE. 7.35 is specific! no more no less. (slightly alkaline)
Plasma is 90% of blood. True or false
False. 55%
Composition of plasma w/ percent
91% water
7% proteins
2% other solutes
The proteins present in the plasma
albumins
globulins
fibrinogen
haptoglobin
What will happen if there’s no albumin in the plasma?
Osmotic pressure will be affected therefore, there will be ineffective exchange of nutrients in the cells and blood
Whats the function of globulin?
Protects the immune system; Fights antigens
What will happen if theres no fibrinogen or if its defective?
There will be no blood clotting. Cant heal wounds. hemophilia
Whats the function of haptoglobulin?
