Blood volume is the volume of blood (both red blood cells and plasma) in the circulatory system of any individual.
Famous quotes containing the words blood and/or volume:
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruelnot speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (18211912)
“The other 1000 are principally the old Yankee stock, who have lost the town, politically, to the Portuguese; who deplore the influx of the off-Cape furriners; and to whom a volume of genealogy is a piece of escape literature.”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
