[Erythrocyte distribution in the vascular bed at the level of the aortic arch based on morphological research data]

Erythrocyte distribution in the vascular bed according to their maturation rate has been studied. A relative content of young erythrocytes was shown to be higher in cerebral arterial than in peripheral blood. Such distribution is believed to be physiologically important, as young erythrocytes are capable of more effective oxygen exchange for carbon dioxide.
