Albumin and globulin are the two major proteins found in the blood. Albumin is produced in the liver and is important for transporting many molecules in the blood and making sure that the blood does not leak into the tissues of the body.lbumin and globulin are the two major proteins found in the blood.

The arterioles then divide further into capillaries. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels and their walls are only one cell thick which allows diffusion between the blood and cells to occur. Nutrients and oxygen from the blood diffuses through the capillary walls into the tissues that need it. This is aided by the relatively high blood pressure that also squeezes the oxygen and nutrients through the capillary wall and into the cells of the tissue. At the same time carbon dioxide and other waste products re-enter the capillary in order to be processed and removed from the body.
Describe what happens to the blood as it leaves the small intestine. 1. The small intestine absorbs products or digestion 2. Nutrients molecules (and any toxins) travel in the hepatic portal vein to the liver. 3. Liver monitors blood content. 4. Blood enters general circulation by way of the hepatic vein.
