Question

Which among the following mentioned plasma components are not correctly matched with their function?

• A. Albumin - Distributes water all over the body
• B. Globulins - Involved in defense mechanism
• C. Fibrinogen- Transports oxygen to all parts of the body
• D. Inorganic ions- Controls the function of muscles

Answer 1

The correct option is C Fibrinogen- Transports oxygen to all parts of the body

• Fibrinogen is found in significant concentrations in the blood plasma of all vertebrate animals. It plays a central role in the clotting of blood.
• Globulins in human blood plasma are primarily involved in defense mechanisms of the body. Globulins like immunoglobulins act as antibodies that destroy bacteria, viruses and toxic substances that may enter the blood from outside.
• Albumin is the protein present in blood plasma which functions in retaining water and distributes it to all parts of the body.
• Inorganic ions like Ca, Na and K control the functions of muscles and nerves.
