Platelets are tiny red cells that flow with in our bodies to assist with our injuries. When we cut ourselves, blood flows with the cut and this carries platelets. The platelets combine with the oxygen in the air and the platelets disintegrate to form a thread-like substance called fibrin. Fibrin acts like a dam and holds the further flow of blood

A laboratory worker prepared a 1:200 dilution of whole blood. The diluted blood gave a count of 30 RBCs per hemocytometer square (100 µm × 100 µm). How many RBCs are in 1 mL of the diluted blood and in 1 mL of the whole blood?

Step 1. Calculate the volume of a hemocytomer square $V = lwh = 100 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("µm"))) × 100 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("µm"))) × "0,10" "mm" × ((1 "mm")/(1000 color(red)(cancel(color(black)("µm")))))^2$ $ = "1,00" × 10^"-3"...
