What compromises the Buffy coat in the hematocrit tube?
The Buffy coat in the hematocrit tube is composed of a thin layer of white blood cells and platelets. These components separate from the red blood cells due to differences in density during the centrifugation process. The Buffy coat is important for identifying and analyzing abnormalities in the white blood cells and platelets, such as infections or clotting disorders.
What are the components of formed elements?
elements have there own properties and the are gases that are combined
What is the effect of a bacterial infection on the hematocrit?
Its really simple if you think about it. if you have a bacterial infection your white blood cell count would increase because as the wbc's are fighting off the infection they die off releasing a chemical into the blood stream that tells your body to increase production of white blood cells. so the hematocrit would have a thicker buffer layer. the buffer layer being the white blood cells. With a higher production of white blood cells the rbc production would very slightly decrease which would decrease the ratio of rbc to whole blood volume.
What causes viscosity to increases and decrease?
Blood carries white blood cells, red blood cells, hormones and other substances. Internal friction within in the blood (viscosity) is caused by the percentage of these cells in the blood. A higher percentage of cells in the blood means the viscosity is higher. Red blood cells are the hematocrit. When the hematocrit is decreased such as occurs with anemia, the viscosity of the blood is decreased.
What cells are in the bloodstream?
Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.
When anticoagulated blood is centrifuged what primarily forms the Buffy coat layer?
white blood cells and platelets
Does blood separate into three layers when Centrifuged?
yes. Blood separates into, from top to bottom, plasma, white blood cells/ platelets, and red blood cells.
What compromises the Buffy coat in a hematocrit tube?
Platelets and white blood cells
What is the liquid part of blood which carries red blood cells white blood cells and platelets is called?
Your question is unclear - the liquid which carries red and white blood cells and platelets is blood. These cells are the solid component of blood, which separates from the liquid part (plasma) when centrifuged.

How does dehydration effect hematocrit?
Hematocrit is the concentration of cells in the blood, measured by the relationship between the cells in the blood (red and white) and the liquid part of the blood called plasma. Normally the less amount of liquid in the body the fewer amounts there will be in the blood itself, therefore the cell/plasma ratio will decrease making the blood more concentrated. That's why the bigger the dehydration, the higher the hematocrit.
What is a hematocrit?
Hematocrit is a blood test that measures the number of red blood cells and the size of red blood cells. It gives a percentage of red blood cells found in whole blood. This test is almost always ordered as part of a complete blood countHematOcrit is the ratio of red blood blood cells and blood plasma. In women it should be around 38%, in men, 45.

What is the scientific name for red blood cell?
Erythrocytes; abbreviated RBC's. The scientific name for red blood cells is Erythrocytes. {I'm 13 and I know this}: Red blood cells = Erythrocytes; White blood cells = Leukocytes; Platelets = Thrombocytes; and Plasma = Plasma - there are several types.
