(2) Indicate the reference range given for that animal's hematocrit. (3) Was your value IN or OUT of the reference range given for that animal? (4) Give one reason for your result.

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The answers for this question should be filled after conducting the experiment and by noting down the values obtained from the lab experiment.

1) Let us assume we have got an RBC count of 4.1 million/mm3 from that individual's blood

2) Reference Range :

For females - 4.1 to 5.1 million/mm3

For males - 4.5 to 5.9 million / mm3 approximately

3)We have got the value of RBC count within the reference range provided.

4) we can conclude that the value which we got ,was in the reference range without any drastic changes because as already it was mentioned in the question that the blood sample was taken from an healthy and normal individual.

I think you are clear now. ?
