Summary Introduction
To determine: The total blood volume in a 200-lb man and a 130-lb woman.
Introduction: The circulating fluid in the cardiovascular system is known as blood. The blood is carried to all the parts of the body by the blood vessels. There are many types of blood vessels in the body. The blood provides oxygen to all the body parts.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The total plasma volume of a man with 52% hematocrit and the woman with 41% hematocrit.
Introduction: The connective tissue consisting of cellular elements suspended in a large fluid matrix is the blood. This matrix is called plasma. Blood helps in transporting substances from one part of the body to another.

- Systemic blood pressure is defined as the ratio of two pressures—systolic and diastolic—both expressed in millimeters of mercury. Normal blood pressure is about 120mm/80mm which is usually just stated as 120/80. What would normal systemic blood pressure be if, instead of millimeters of mercury, we expressed pressure in each of the following units, but continued to use the same ratio format?

If hemoglobin has a molecular weight of 67,000 Da, what is the concentration of hemoglobin in RBCs? Show your work and show your units. Use dimensional analysis to have your final answer in moles per liter. B) The hemoglobin molecule is nearly spherical with a diameter of 55 Angstroms.

- Explain why mean arterial pressure is not equal to (systolic pressure – diastolic pressure) ÷ 2? Put another way, why is MAP not calculated by taking the traditional arithmetic mean of systolic and diastolic blood pressures?arrow_forwardCalculate the White blood cell count (per microliter)arrow_forwardBackground: The hematocrit of whole blood is the percent of the blood (by volume) that is made up of cells. For example, if a person has a hematocrit of 40, it means that 40% of the blood volume is cells and the rest is plasma. The average hematocrit of a normal human male is 42 and 38 for a normal human female. The degree of bodily activity, anaemia, as well as altitude, are among some factors that affect hematocrits. calculation to get the % red blood cells (RBC): RBC present over total liquid x 100 The tubes in the image were all centrifuged at maximum speed for 5 minutes. Describe your observations of the hypo-, iso-, and hypertonic hematocrit tubes. Also calculate the % volume of red blood cells in each tube.arrow_forward
