Plasma and Blood Proteins (6)

Plasma and blood proteins flow through the bloodstream and are essential for numerous physiological functions. Plasma proteins, mainly synthesized by the liver, include albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, and others. They contribute to maintaining osmotic pressure, transporting nutrients, hormones, and waste, as well as supporting immune responses and blood clotting. Blood proteins encompass a broader range of proteins found in the blood, such as enzymes, antibodies, and clotting factors, all of which play vital roles in sustaining health and ensuring normal bodily functions.
