Describe the composition of plasma by choosing TRUE of FALSE

Describe the composition of plasma by choosing \"TRUE\" of \"FALSE\" for the following statements:

Solution

Answer:

1). Plasma is the liquid portion of blood---True

2). 100% of plasma is made up from water---False

is mostly water (up to 95% by volume), and contains dissolved proteins (6–8%) (i.e.—serum albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen),^[2] glucose, clotting factors, electrolytes (Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, HCO₃, Cl, etc.), hormones, carbon dioxide (plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation) and oxygen.

3). 8% of plasma is composed of various ions and organic molecules—True

4). The ions in plasma are from salts that dissolve in the water portion of plasma—True

5). The salts in plasma help to maintain the osmotic pressure and pH of the blood—True

6. Plasma does not contain dissolved glucose, amino acids or urea—True

Plasma which contains: Glucose, Amino-acids, Vitamins, Hormones, Mineral salts, Antibodies, Antitoxins, Urea, Phospholipids, Lipoproteins, Hydrogen carbonate ions & Fibrinogen.

7). The large organic molecules in plasma include hormones and the plasma proteins---True

8. Three major types of plasma proteins are the albumins, the globulins, and fibrinogen---True

9). Most plasma proteins are made in the pancreas—False

Fibrinogen comprises 7% of blood proteins; conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin is essential for blood clotting. The remainder of the plasma proteins (1%) are regulatory proteins, such as enzymes, proenzymes, and hormones. All bloodproteins are synthesized in liver except for the gamma globulins.
