During bleeding, both formed elements (platelets, white blood cells, red blood cells) and plasma are lost from the circulatory system. They are lost proportionally, so initially there is no change in hematocrit.
Hematocrit is the percentage of the blood volume made up of elements (Hct = cell volume/blood volume). During dehydration, only water and electrolytes are lost, and the number of cells remains constant - the same number of cells in a smaller volume leads to an increase in hematocrit. When the body tries to restore blood volume, the first thing to recirculate is water from the ECF and this increases the amount of water without increasing the amount of red blood cells, so the compensatory mechanism causes the hematocrit to fall.

Answer:
Because they have the same function to swim with, but have different structures and made of different material.
Explanation:
A statement that would be least likely used too describe variation is
“Variation is something that moves”
That is a least likely description.
The <u><em>correct answer</em></u> is:
He needs to select a more representative sample.
Explanation:
Choosing students from the basketball team for the sample he uses on a study of heart rates and exercise will be a biased sample. This is because students on the basketball team are potentially healthier than other students, which means that exercise will not have a large an effect on their heart rate as it would if they were not as healthy and not as physically fit.
In order to reduce the amount of bias, he should choose students from different groups throughout the school.
