What does Albumins do?
Contribute to viscosity and osmolarity; influence blood pressure, flow, and fluid
balance
What factors influence blood osmolarity and viscosity?
is the resistance of a fluid to flow, resulting from the cohesion of its particles;
influenced by red blood cell proportion and albumin concentration
blood is the total molarity of the dissolved particles that cannot pass
