Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The role of fibrinogen needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Plasma proteins in the body play a definitive role and that is vital to the functioning of blood units and the whole body. Fibrinogen is the clotting factor and it helps certain blood components form a clot at the site of an injury. Albumin is a protein that is responsible for the osmosis of the plasma. Globulins are responsible for immunity.
(b)
Interpretation:
The role of globulins needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Plasma proteins in the body play a definitive role and without these functions, the body would not be able to survive for much later. Globulins are responsible for immunity. Fibrinogen is the clotting factor and it helps certain blood components form a clot at the site of an injury. Albumin is a protein that is responsible for the osmosis of the plasma.
(c)
Interpretation:
The role of albumins needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Plasma proteins play a vital role which causes the whole body to function properly and especially the blood units. Fibrinogen is the clotting factor and it helps certain blood components form a clot at the site of an injury. Globulins are the proteins which form the first layer of defense against the diseases. Albumin is a protein that is responsible for the osmosis of the plasma.
