What is packed cell volume (PCV)?
What is hematocrit?

Name important plasma proteins. Give their normal value.
Give normal value of albumin:globulin ratio. What is its significance?

What are the functions of plasma proteins?
Plasma protein contributing maximum to osmotic pressure is ____________ . Give reason for your answer.

Justify this statement.

    Fibrinogen is having more molecular mass. So contribution is more.

    With equal mass of fibrinogen and albumin in the circulation (suppose), fibrinogen will contribute more to viscosity....Why??

    Albumin contribute more to the osmotic pressure because it depends on the no of molecule present in it not the molecular mass
