globulins   38% of plasma proteins - some are antibodies & others are transport molecules  
🗑
fibrinogen -   4% of plasma proteins & is responsible for formation of blood clots

🗑
carbamino hemoglobin   carbon dioxide is transported by the AMINO groups of the globin molecule (does NOT combine with the iron atoms as oxygen does)  
🗑
nitric oxide   when oxygen is released in tissues, nitric oxide is is also released-this may play a role in regulating blood pressure
