Post by: astone_082193 on Feb 8, 2012
Answers please:

2. What is the significance of the "buffy coat" after you centrifuge the total blood sample?
3. As noted in the Exercise Overview, the average hematocrit for males is 42-52%, the average hematocrit for females is 37-47%, and erythropoietin is a hormone that is responsible for the synthesis of RBSs. Given this information, explain how a female could have a consistent hematocrit of 48, large, well-defined skeletal muscles, and an abnormally deep voice.
