Bloodvolume (volemia) is the volume of blood (blood cells and plasma) in the circulatory system of any individual. A typical adult has a blood volume...

Cerebral bloodvolume is the bloodvolume in a given amount of brain tissue. The typical human adult's skull contains approximately 1500 grams of the brain...
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of blood vessels. Most of this pressure results from the heart pumping blood...

cardiovascular physiology, stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped from the left ventricle per beat. Stroke volume is calculated using measurements...
20–30 trillion red blood cells. Nearly half of the blood'svolume (40% to 45%) is red blood cells. Packed red blood cells are red blood cells that have been...
Together, these three kinds of blood cells add up to a total 45% of the blood tissue by volume, with the remaining 55% of the volume composed of plasma, the...

The mean corpuscular volume, or mean cell volume (MCV), is a measure of the average volume of a red blood corpuscle (or red blood cell). The measure is...
