It contains proteins water, sugars, mineral ions, hormones,
dissolved gases, and proteins.
Albumin is the major protein found in blood plasma.
2. Buffy coat: Leukocytes and
Platelets (0.7%)
Leukocytes contain several cell types
Neutrophil = 62%
Eosinophil = 2.3%
Basophil = 0.4%
Lymphocyte = 30%
Monocyte = 5.3%
1 uL of blood contains 4000-11000 leukocytes
1 uL of blood contains 200000-500000 leukocytes
3. Erythrocytes (45%)
1 uL of blood contains 4.2 million to 6.1 million RBC

(ii) With the aid of diagrams and appropriate equations describe eth fluid behaviour of blood and how the action of red blood cells and plasma proteins contribute to these properties.
List and describe all named blood vessels and pertinent structures that the red blood cell will pass through on its trip (arterioles, venules, and capillary beds can be handwaved); it is assumed to start from a small venule feeding directly to the brachial vein. Remember that the trips requires a visit through the pulmonary circuit before and after each of the four steps listed above the apex of the heart is reached through the coronary circulation). 7.
