The volume occupied by the red cells when the centrifugation is performed for the anticoagulated blood. The aim of the experiment is determination of packed cell volume and calculation of the absolute values.

The determination of platelet count is important in diagnosis of bleeding disorder, bone marrow disease or any other condition.
The aim of the experiment is recording and analysis of 12 lead electrocardiograms and to measure the mean electrical axis of heart.
The reticulocytes are immature red blood cells. These are produced during erythropoiesis and maturation happens in bone marrow. They do not have cell nucleus and possess a reticular network of ribosomal RNA
Eosinophils are white blood cells of the body which play an important role in protecting the immunity of the body. They are stored in the bone marrow and can survive up to few weeks. The measure of the total quantity of eosinophil in the blood is called as total eosinophil count.
There are three types of cells in the blood stream namely leucocytes (white blood cells), erythrocytes (red blood cells) and thrombocytes (platelets). The complete blood count is the most common blood investigations advised by the doctor to know the overall health of the subject.
