Q

Plasma proteins:

A
  • Albumin : maintains the proper proportion and concentration of water in the blood. - Globulins: immunoglobulins ( IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE) + Globulins: another part of the blood containing plasma proteins: alpha, beta, and gamma globulins) + Immunoglobulins: antibodies that bind to and sometimes destroy antigens or foreign substances. - Fibrinogen - Prothrombin Fibrinogen and prothrombin are Clotting proteins.
