Studies on Species Variation of Blood Sedimentation in Domestic Animals

2. Shape of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Curve

Abstract

To study species variation in the shape of erythrocyte sedimentation curve in domestic animals, velocity and acceleration were calculated from the blood sedimentation rate. The results obtained are given in Fig. 1-6 and Table 1-3 in Japanese text.
The changes of velocity and acceleration in the erythrocyte sedimentation are summarized as Fig. 7-8
The process of the erythrocyte sedimentation was divided into four phases by the changes of its velocity and acceleration. (Fig. 9) The appearance of these phases seems to be close connection with the blood sedimentation types.
