Abstract
Fresh human erythrocytes were resuspended in phosphate-buffered dextran solutions at osmolarities ranging from normal down to hemolysis in order to change their shape. Another batch of the erythrocytes was hardened and resuspended. From rheological measurement made in Brookfield and Contraves viscometers it was concluded that the rigidity of an erythrocyte was much more important than its shape in determining the bulk rheology of blood.
