More numerical results on red blood cell geometry.

The length of arc or circumference for the cross-section of the red blood cell has been determined for the normal range of dimensional values for mammalian red cells. Graphs for arc length vs. diameter and vs. cross-sectional area, for fixed thickness, are included. The graphs give an indication of the rates of change of the geometrical parameters contained therein. A special case of Fick's Law, based on the model geometry utilizing the Oval of Cassini, is presented for the mammalian red cell. The ratios of surface area to volume necessary for a complete Fick's Law formulation, are given for the normal range of dimensional values for the mammalian red cell.

Some red blood cell geometry.

Formulas are presented for the cross-sectional area, volume, surface area, and circumference of a model red blood cell based on the Oval of Cassini as the geometry of choice. The relationship between the actual cell dimensions and model parameters is given as is the criterion for the validity of the model used in the formulary. Each formula is given in rectangular form and in a form suitable for computer calculations.

Numerical results on red blood cell geometry.

The geometric quantities of cross-sectional area, volume, and surface area have been calculated, to three-decimal-place accuracy, using the normal range of dimensional values for mammalian red blood cells. The calculations are based on the formulas for the geometric quantities originally derived by Funaki and rederived by the authors. The calculations for the surface area differ from those found earlier by Funaki.
