Colloidal osmotic pressure of plasma is by___________?

Correct answer: A. Albumin

  • A. Albumin
  • B. Fibrinogen
  • C. Globulin
  • D. Prothrombin

Explanation

Albumin is the most abundant plasma protein and the main contributor to colloidal osmotic, or oncotic, pressure because it is plentiful and remains in the circulation. Globulins contribute less, while fibrinogen and prothrombin primarily have roles in coagulation.
