Average volume is 5 litres in women and 5. 5 litres on men: characterisics and components of blood. Plasma makes up about 55% of whole blood. Contacins three groups of plasma proiens: plasma proiens make up about 6-8% of plasma"s total weight. Globulins 3 subclasses alpha, beta, gamme. Solvent and transport medium carrying materials throughout the body. Plasmas water absorbs and distributes heat generated by issues: holds heat- causing its temperature to drop or rise slowly. Helps prevent rapis temperature changes in body. Cools body as blood vessels dilate blood closer to surface. Plasma portion: water, plasma proiens, ions, sugar, amino acids, hormones, vitamins and dissolved gases: water relaive amounts: 91-92% of plasma volume, funcion: solvent, plasma proteins (albumin, globulins, ibrinogen, etc) relaive amounts: 7-8%. Defense, cloing, lipid transport, roles in extracellular luid volume, etc.
