Plasma proteins account for about $6-8\%$ of the plasma. The major plasma proteins are fibrinogens,globulins,and albumins.
$1$. Fibrinogens are needed for clotting or coagulation of blood.
$2$. Globulins are primarily involved in defense mechanisms of the body (e.g.,antibodies).
$3$. Albumins help in osmotic balance,which is essential for maintaining fluid volume within the vascular space.
