It is the oxygen carrying compound of RBCs
Hemoglobin
TF: Newborns’ capillary Hb is significantly higher than venous Hb
True
It is an indirect estimate of hemoglobin and it is the number of RBC oer dL of blood
Hematocrit

Women: 37-46%
Newborns: 50-60%
TF: A change from upright to recombent position decreases hematocrit level
True
