Summary Introduction
To review:
The level of hemoglobin when the hematocrit value is high.
Introduction:
Hematocrit basically represents the ratio of the volume of RBCs (red blood cells) to the blood’s total volume. Its value is expressed in percentage (%). Its value is comparatively high in men (45–52%) than in the women (37–48%). Hemoglobin is an oxygen carrying pigment enclosed in the RBCs, which varies from cell-to-cell.

- Hemoglobin will bind oxygen and release CO2 in places where there is a higher concentration of O2, lower concentration of CO2, lower temperature and lower acidity (as it is in lungs) and will do the reverse – release oxygen and bind CO2 - in places where there is a lower concentration of O2, higher concentration of CO2, higher temperature and higher acidity (as it is in working muscles). True False While white blood cells never leave the circulation, red blood cells regularly leave it and travel by lymphatic system or find home in other tissues, e.g., lymph nodes, spleen, etc. True False Blood clotting (coagulation) is a complex process involving many factors and it exhibits positive feedback loops: many of the factors also stimulate production of their own precursors.
