The remaining 10% is made up of dissolved materials, which include blood proteins, excretory materials, and antibodies and antitoxins. Blood proteins are essential for various functions such as clotting, transport of nutrients, and defense against infections. Excretory materials are waste products that are eliminated from the body through urine or sweat. Antibodies and antitoxins are part of the immune system and help in fighting against pathogens and toxins.
