Chapter 19, Problem 4CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The way, in which the blood plasma volume relates to the fluid volume in a 2 liter Coke bottle.
Introduction:
The blood consists of two components; namely, plasma and formed elements. The blood plasma is an extracellular matrix composed of watery liquid, in which the dissolved substances and formed elements are present. The formed elements include blood cells and their fragments.

- A 150-lb adult has approximately 9 pints of blood. If a drop of blood has a volume of 0.05 mL, how many drops of blood does the adult individual have? The final answer is to be expressed in 3 significant figures.

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?
