Redistribution of the blood in the blood vessels of lower monkeys

Summary

Experiments were performed on various species of monkeys. It was established there was a decreased number of erythrocytes, leucocytes (of the total number, as well as of their separate forms) and hemoglobin in the blood taken from the vein in comparison with the blood taken from capillaries of the ear lobe. The color index (which reflects the degree of saturation of a single erythrocyte by hemoglobin) and the ratio of the lymphocytes and neutrophils are the same in both specimens of the blood. The difference between the total number of leucocytes in the ear capillary and in the vein is greatest during the first few days when the animal is not yet used to the conditions in which the experiment is performed. With a decline of the reaction to the environmental conditions, the difference between the total number of leucocytes taken from the ear capillary and the vein becomes less pronounced due to the decrease of leucocytes in the blood taken from the ear. This demonstrates that uneven distribution of the cellular elements and hemoglobin in various vessels of the organism is the result of redistribution of the blood.
