Chapter 16, Problem 19RQ
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.

What is the approximate volume of blood plasma in a lean 60-kg male? In a lean 60-kg female? (Note: One liter of body fluid has a mass of 1 kilogram.)
Total blood volume in the capillary tube is 20mm, the packed cell volume(red blood cells) is 7.1 mm, and the plasma portion measures 12.9mm.
How is hematocrit calculated?
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?

atmosheres =
a)120/ 80
b) 2.32/ 1.54
c) 0.158/ 0.105

- a) Hemoglobin accounts for 95% of the protein in red blood cells. 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.

- 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_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_forwardA woman weighing 75 kg is given 10 mg in Evan's Blue dye intravenously.
