The normal total circulating blood volume is about 8% of the body weight (5600 mL in a 70-kg man).  About 55% of this volume is plasma (3500 mL in a 70-kg man).

Most capillary walls are relatively impermeable to the proteins in plasma, and the proteins exert an osmotic force of about 25 mm Hg across the capillary wall (oncotic pressure) that pulls water into the blood.

The plasma proteins are also responsible for 15% of the buffering capacity of the blood because of the weak ionization of their substituent COOH and NH2 groups.
