Feedback:
Fibrinogen plays a key role in forming blood clots. It can be transformed from a liquid to fibrin, a solid that controls bleeding. Alpha and beta globulins function primarily as immunologic agents; they prevent or modify some types of infectious diseases. The help maintain osmotic pressure in the vascular compartment. Albumin is formed in the liver and is the most abundant protein in plasma but does not stop vessel bleeding.
