The diameter of a capillary is about equal to the diameter of a?
Answeran 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 micrometerAverage calibre (diameter of the lumen) is 5-10 micrometerThis 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.ahmetcorak
How do you diameter of a circle?
You do a diameter circle!!
What part of a diameter is a radius?
It is half of the diameter or radius = diameter/2
A chord of a circle that contains the center of a circle-?
The cord of a circle that contains the center of that circle is a diameter of that circle.
What is external diameter?
The diameter is the measurement of a line that goes right through a circle, through the centre point. In cases where we have a ring or some other such object with multiple circles, we would have an external diameter and an internal diameter. The internal diameter is the diameter of the inner circle. The external diameter is the diameter of the outer circle.

What is the diameter of a plasma cell?
A plasma cell typically has a diameter of 10-20 micrometers.
Are platelets larger or smaller than red blood cells?
Platelets are generally smaller than erythrocytes (red cells) averaging about 3µm in diameter whereas an average erythrocyte is approximately 6.5µm - 7.5µm in diameter.
Red blood cells are also known as?
red blood cells are also called erythrocytes
What measure determines the average size of an erythrocyte?
The mean corpuscular volume is the measure that determines the average size of an erythrocyte. The erythrocyte is what is commonly known as red blood cells.
Does carbon dioxide and bicarbonate anions move in the same direction across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte?
Carbon dioxide enters the erythrocyte and reacts with water to form bicarbonate ions, which then exit the erythrocyte. So, they move in opposite directions across the plasma membrane of an erythrocyte.
What is the abbreviation for erythrocyte?
The abbreviation for erythrocyte is RBC, which stands for red blood cell.
What is the medical terminology for a red blood cell?
The medical terminology for a red blood cell is erythrocyte.
What is the importance of hemoglobin for erythrocyte function?
The importance of hemoglobin for erythrocyte function is that it gives them oxygen carrying abilities. Without hemoglobin, the erythrocyte would be unable to carry and transport oxygen where it needs to go.
What does not stimulate erythrocyte production?
Hyperventilating
Where does erythrocyte came from?
Bone marrow
Is a reticulocyte a mature erythrocyte?
False
