an erythrocyte, or red blood cell (approx. 5um). This forces the blood cells to pass through in single file, maximising oxygen diffusion efficiency.
***
Average diameter of an erythrocyte is 7.8 micrometer
Average calibre (diameter of the lumen) is 5-10 micrometer
This means that the diameter of an average erythrocyte is smaller than the calibre of the narrowest capillaries. Young erythrocytes can be deformed into any shape. The old lack such deformability, hence, their membrane rupture during their passage especially through splenic capillaries. Their lifetime is 120 days. If we are hopeless to need the old ones, then the spleen will be removed.

How can you measure the diameter of capillary tube by using vernier caliper in traveling microscope?
To measure the diameter of a capillary tube using a traveling microscope and vernier caliper, place the capillary tube on a flat surface. View the capillary tube through the traveling microscope to measure the external diameter. Then, use the vernier caliper to measure the internal diameter by gently inserting the capillary tube between the jaws of the caliper to get an accurate measurement. Subsequently, calculate the average diameter using the two measurements.
How capillary rise and diameter depends?
Capillary rise is influenced by the diameter of the capillary tube; specifically, narrower tubes exhibit a greater height of liquid rise due to stronger adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube walls relative to the cohesive forces within the liquid. This phenomenon is described by the capillary action equation, where the height of rise is inversely proportional to the diameter of the tube—smaller diameters lead to higher capillary rise. As the diameter increases, the height of the liquid column decreases, demonstrating the strong relationship between tube size and capillary action.

How many capillaries does it take to equal one hair?
A human hair has an average diameter of 70 mikrometers and a capillary has an average diameter of 7 mikrometers, so that tells us that 1 hair takes about 10 capillaries in width.

Why is the diameter of the capillary tube very small?
The diameter of a capillary tube is very small to facilitate capillary action, which is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without external forces. This small diameter creates a high surface-to-volume ratio, enhancing the adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube's walls, while also minimizing gravitational effects. Additionally, a smaller diameter increases the velocity of fluid flow, making it efficient for transporting liquids in biological and industrial processes.
