Microhemodynamics of blood flow in narrow glass capillaries of 9 to 20 micrometers; The Fahraeus effect

Abstract
Velocities of the red blood cell (RBC) and the suspending medium in glass capillaries of 9 to 20 μ m were measured under microscopic observation. The effects of physical factors such as driving pressure, capillary diameter, hematocrits and RBC deform
