Document Summary
Blood represents approximately 8% of total body weight. All of which are suspended in a liquid called plasma. The percentage of packed blood cells in total blood volume. Mostly red blood cells (but also includes which blood cells and platelets) 3% other * transport medium albumins electrocytes absorbs and distributes heat globulins (alpha, beta, gamma) Plasma proteins: provide a collie osmotic pressure that prevents excess build from leaving the capillaries (maintaining blood volume, bu er changes in blood ph. Lactic acid (lactic acid h+ + lactate) Carbonic acid (co2 + h2o h2co3 h+ + hco3. Plasma proteins contain acidic and basic groups and therefore, can give up or take up h+ There are three groups of plasma protein: albumin. Very abundant and therefore are the main contributors to collide osmotic pressure. Bind to certain substances that are poorly soluble in the blood and help to transport them (penicillin: globulins (alpha, beta, gamma)
