The . complete blood count is the calculation of the cellular (formed elements) of blood. . 7 micrometres. diameter. 2 micrometres. thick. Full of a red chemical called . haemoglobin . that contains iron.. Haemoglobin allows the red blood cell to . carry oxygen . from the lungs to all the cells in the body.. Red blood cell indices . Red blood cell indices :. are measurement that describe the size and oxygen carrying protein (HB) content of red blood cells .. The indices are used to help in the differential diagnosis of anemia .. “River of life”. Transports everything that must be carried from one place to another within the body:. Nutrients. Wastes. Heat. Composition of Blood. Blood cells or formed elements:. Red blood cells – transports oxygen. Note: To determine the type of mechanism you must be able to determine the stimulus and response..

Introduction. :. A . complete blood count.  (. CBC. ) is a test  that gives information about the cells in a patient's blood. . Important. .  To understand this test, it is important to know that the blood generally consists . Blood vessels that carry blood from the heart The tiniest blood vessels Parts of the respiratory system The extra cells cause the blood to be thicker, and this, in turn, increases the risk of other health issues, such as blood clots.. TYPES . Primary polycythemia. Secondary polycythemia. Primary polycythemia is also called polycythemia vera (PV).. Introduction . Red blood cells are characterized by a biconcave shape aids efficient navigation through narrow vessels.. Surface antigens on red blood cells determine individual blood types.. Lack of nucleus and organelles enables high hemoglobin concentration for oxygen transport.. When modeling a problem using a finite element program, it is very important to check whether the solution has converged. . The . word convergence is used because the output from the finite element program is converging on a single correct solution. In order to check the convergence, more than one solution to the same problem are required. If the solution is dramatically different from the original solution, then solution of the problem is not converged. However, if the solution does not change much (less than a few percent difference) then solution of the problem is considered converged..
