Answer:

<h2>1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume);  1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low),</h2>

Explanation:

HCT is calculated as:

HCT = Volume of red blood cells / (Volume of red blood cells + volume of plasma) x 100  

1.45 + 3.55 = 5.0 (total blood volume);  1.45/5.0 × 100 = 29% (low), normal range for an adult female HCT  ranges from 38 to 46% (some sources claim 34.9-44.5%).

*for calculating this, one must know two of these three values: packed cell volume, total blood volume, plasma volume.

Total blood volume = Packed cell volume + plasma volume.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

These different faces are called phases and they are the result of the way the Sun lights the Moon's surface as the Moon orbits Earth. The Moon can only be seen as a result of the Sun's light reflecting off it. It does not produce any light of its own.
