Blood Plasma , Function of plasma protein

Blood plasma





Blood plasma:

 plasma is that part of extracellular fluid which is identical to interstitial fluid but it contains 7% proteins while interstitial fluid contains 2% proteins.
Volume
3300 ml

Difference between plasma and interstitial fluid:

 both plasma and interstitial fluid are part of extracellular fluid and are almost identical to each other except for Plasma contains 7% proteins while interstitial fluid contains 2% proteins.

Difference between serum and plasma:

Fuid part of blood which expresses out after clotting due to clot retraction, is called serum. serum resembles plasma but it has no fibrinogen and other clotting factor as it is formed after clotting.


 Difference between human and animal blood:

 Human blood forms hemin crystals, while animals blood do not.

 Origin of Plasma proteins:

 all plasma proteins are formed in liver except Gamma globulin which is formed in reticuloendothelial system, plasma cells, and lymphocytes.


 Function of Plasma proteins


1. essential for blood clotting, eg fibrinogen and prothrombin.
2) maintain colloid Osmotic pressure of blood; thus help in fluid distribution between blood and tissue.
3) maintain viscosity and blood pressure
4)  Regulate erythrocyte sedimentation rate. increased fibrinogen causes increase erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
5) Act as buffer; thus maintain acid-base balance.
6) Act as protein reserve; thus provide nutrition during starvation and in that inadequate protein diet.
7) Help carbon dioxide carriage by forming carbamino proteins.
8) Form trephones; leukocytes prepare substances  called  trephones from plasma proteins, which are essential for nourishment of tissue cells grown in culture.
 9) antibodies (Gamma-globulins combat disease causing organisms.
10) transport substances in blood; e.g. hormones, enzymes, iron (transferrin) and copper (ceruloplasmin) are transported by globulin.

Neurotransmitters and receptors

Neurotransmitters and receptors Did you know there are billions of neurons—and trillions of synapses—in your amazing brain? ^1 1 start superscript, 1, end superscript  (No wonder you can learn anything, including neurobiology!) Most of your synapses are  chemical synapses , meaning that information is carried by chemical messengers from one neuron to the next. In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on  neurotransmitters , the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they can “talk” to neighboring cells. We’ll also look at the receptor proteins that let the target cell “hear” the message. Neurotransmitters: Conventional and unconventional There are many different kinds of neurotransmitters, and new ones are still being discovered! Over the years, the very idea of what makes something a neurotransmitter has changed and broadened. Because the definition has expanded, so...

The Importance of Animal Physiology

The Importance of  Animal Physiology Why is the study of animal physiology important to you and to people in general? Not the least of the reasons is the one we have already emphasized—namely, that a full understanding and appreciation of all the marvels and other phenomena of the animal world depends on an analysis of how animals work. The study of physiology draws us beyond surface impressions into the inner workings of animals, and nearly always this venture is not only a voyage of discovery, but also one of revelation. The study of physiology also has enormous practical applications because physiology is a principal discipline in the understanding of health and disease. The analysis of many human diseases—ranging from aching joints to heart failure—depends on understanding how the “human machine” works. A physician who studies heart disease, for instance, needs to know the forces that make blood flow into the heart chambers between one heartbeat and the next. The physician ...

What are chromosomes?

Image
Chromosome Chromosome During cell division the chromatin material change into thread like structure called chromosome. Chromosomes are also called physical basis of hereditary. On the chromosomes small bodies are located call genes. There are thousands of genes are present in an organisms.Genes are the unit of heredity. These genes contain hereditary character which are transfered from one generation to another by the help of chromosomes. Chromosomes were discovered by a biologist waldyer in 1876. After that in  1908 Sutton identified the function of chromosomes,that they take part in the transfer of hereditary characters.      ( Next post will be about Structure of chromosomes)
