Blood volume, $V_{B}$, in a human can be determined using the equation $V_{B}=\dfrac{V_{P}}{1-H}$, where $V_{P}$ is the plasma volume and $H$ is the hematocrit (the fraction of blood volume that is red blood cells). Which of the following correctly expresses the hematocrit in terms of the blood volume and the plasma volume?

Question

Accepted Answer

$H=1-\dfrac{V_{P}}{V_{B}}$

Answer

$H=\dfrac{V_{B}}{V_{P}}$

Answer

$H=1+\dfrac{V_{B}}{V_{P}}$

Answer

$H=V_{B}-V_{P}$
