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.

How does the volume of blood plasma in your body compare to the volume of fluid in a 2-liter bottle of Coke?
If an accident victim loses 1 L of blood, why would an intravenous infusion of a liter of plasma be more effective for replacing the lost volume than infusing a liter of an equally concentrated crystalloid (e.g., sodium chloride) solution?

- 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
- 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?
