Liver.
- B.
•Heart.
- C.
Lungs.
- D.
•Lymphoid system
Correct Answer
D. •Lymphoid systemExplanation
Plasma gamma globulin is synthesized by the lymphoid system. The lymphoid system includes various organs and tissues such as the bone marrow, thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. These organs are responsible for producing lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, which in turn produce gamma globulins. Gamma globulins are a group of proteins that are important for the immune system, as they help in fighting off infections and providing immunity against diseases. Therefore, it is the lymphoid system that synthesizes plasma gamma globulin.Rate this question:

•the viscosity produced by plasma proteins is mainly due to:
- A.
Prothrombin.
- B.
•Albumin.
- C.
Fibrinogen.
- D.
•All of the above.
Correct Answer
C. Fibrinogen.Explanation
The correct answer is Fibrinogen. Fibrinogen is a plasma protein that plays a crucial role in blood clotting. When there is an injury or damage to blood vessels, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, which forms a mesh-like structure to trap platelets and form a blood clot. This process helps in stopping bleeding. Prothrombin is also involved in blood clotting, but it is not primarily responsible for the viscosity produced by plasma proteins. Albumin is another plasma protein, but it does not contribute significantly to blood viscosity. Therefore, the correct answer is Fibrinogen.Rate this question:

Blood viscosity is mainly due to:
- A.
•fibrinogen
- B.
•prothrombin
- C.
•albumin
- D.
•RBCs
Correct Answer
D. •RBCsExplanation
Blood viscosity refers to the thickness or stickiness of blood. It is mainly determined by the presence of various components in the blood. Red blood cells (RBCs) play a crucial role in blood viscosity. RBCs are the most abundant cells in the blood and their shape and quantity contribute to the viscosity. The disc-like shape of RBCs allows them to flow smoothly through blood vessels, but if there is an increased number of RBCs or if they are abnormally shaped, it can lead to increased blood viscosity. Therefore, RBCs are a major factor in determining blood viscosity.Rate this question:
