Globulins contained in human blood plasma are primarily involved in:

Options

(a) osmotic balance of body fluids
(b) oxygen transport in the blood
(c) clotting of blood
(d) defence mechanisms of body

Correct Answer:

defence mechanisms of body

Explanation:

Globulins contained in human blood plasma are primarily involved, in the defense mechanism of the body. Globulin is one of two types of serum proteins, the other being albumin. Globulins can be divided into three fractions based on their electrophoretic mobility. Most of the alpha and beta globulins are synthesized by the liver, whereas gamma globulins are produced by lymphocytes and plasma cells in lymphoid tissue.
