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.

- What is the approximate ratio of red blood cells to white blood cells in human blood?arrow_forwardWould you expect the concentration of HCO3 to be higher in blood plasma taken from a systemic artery or a systemic vein?arrow_forwardBlood pressure is usually given as the ratio of the maximum pressure (systolic pressure) to the minimum pressure (diastolic pressure). For example a typical value for this ratio for a human would be 120/70, where the pressures are in mm Hg (millimeters of mercury, SG = 13.6). What would these pressures be in kPa (kilo Pascals)?: (a) systolic pressure (kPa), (b) diastolic pressure (kPa).arrow_forward

If you Google the number of hemoglobin molecules in a RBC, most sources state 250-270 million hemoglobin molecules. 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. You can look at the 3D structure of human hemoglobin on the RCSB PDB website.
