The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (heaviness) test of a blood sample is often used as a diagnosis
of immune disorders and some other diseases. Assuming that the red blood cells are about a sphere
with a diameter of (approximately 5 um) and a density (g/ml 1.125), and the density and
viscosity of the plasma in which the red blood cells are settled (Pa.s), (1025 kg/m3 10-3 x 1.5)
On arrangement and acceleration m/s2 9.81
Calculate the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (settlement rate).
White blod cell concentration in normal blood is approx 12,000 cells/mm^3. How many white blood cells does a normal adult with 5.0L of blood have? Express answer in scientific notation.
a typical human contains between 9 and 12 pints of blood. A woman's body contains 10.01 pints of blood and the density of hemoglobin in her body is 13.5g/dL. What is the mass in grams of haemoglobin that would be found in 10.01 pints of blood ( 1 gallon=3.785L, 1 gallon=8 pints).
