Why does albumin exert more osmotic pressure than other proteins and why fibrinogen contributes more to viscosity than other proteins. Share your answers below

[@pranay6662.]

Size and shape?

[@pranay6662.]

Albumin is smaller in size. That is why it exerts more osmotic pressure because osmotic pressure depends on the number of particles and albumin being smaller in size and present inside the blood vessel, fits this criteria

[@PhysiologyOpen]

Yes correct…smaller size means for same concentration- more number of molecules

[@MADHUSEELAM]

Madam!as solvent ( here water )goes from lower concentration to higher concentration (here concentration of plasma proteins especially the albumin because its high in number, which stands for it's high concentration),water goes from tissue fluid to blood vessels (certainly capillaries)

Do you have a video explaining on starvation physiology and the phases?

[@PhysiologyOpen]

Not yet

[@7odz]

Perfect explanation , Thanks alot .

[@PhysiologyOpen]

You are welcome!

[@mangajunction8762]

Very useful mam for my physiological studies tq mam

[@PhysiologyOpen]

Glad to hear that

[@vanshpersie07]

ma'am in guyton it's written that the ratio b/w serum albumin and globumin is usually 1:1... what's the reason

[@PhysiologyOpen]

I don’t think it’s right

[@vanshpersie07]

@@PhysiologyOpen ohok ma'am.. even in biochem it was given as 1.2-2:1 that's why i asked

[@1dNewsSource]

In A K Jain it's given as - 1.7 : 1

[@akshararavichandran8609]

Nice explanation ma'am ❤

[@PhysiologyOpen]

Thanks a lot 😊
