The percentage of blood volume that is occupied by cells, mainly red blood cells, is measured as the:

Answer: Haematocrit.

  • A Haematocrit
  • B Plasma index
  • C ESR
  • D Buffy coat

Correct answer: A. Haematocrit

Explanation: The haematocrit or packed cell volume is the fraction of blood made up of cells, normally about 45 percent.

ECG: The Three Key WavesP wave(atrial depol.)QRS complex(ventricular depol.)T wave(ventricular repol.)QRS is the tallest spike - ventricles have far more muscle mass than the atria

A single ECG cycle: the P wave marks atrial depolarisation (contraction signal), the large QRS complex marks ventricular depolarisation, and the T wave marks ventricular repolarisation (recovery) before the next cycle begins.

Concept context

Blood, lymph, the heart, the cardiac cycle, blood pressure, and ECG. High NEET weightage.
