  • Rhesus Factor: Rh antigen is present in Rhesus monkeys. It is also observed on the surface of RBCs of majority (nearly 80%) of humans. Such people are called Rh-positive (Rh+ve) and those in whom this antigen is missing are called Rh negative (Rh-ve)
  • A plasma lipoprotein is involved in the transport of lipids in the bloodstream.

 

There are 4 major classes of plasma lipoproteins:

Chylomicrons

Transport dietary triglycerides from the intestine to the liver and to adipose tissue.

Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)

Transport triglycerides synthesised in the liver to adipose tissue.

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL)

Transport cholesterol synthesised in the liver to cells throughout the body.

High-density lipoproteins (HDL)

Collect excess cholesterol from body tissues and transport it back to the liver for degradation and excretion from the body.
