Run QCP at least 40 days, or until he dies. Print or copy the autopsy if you kill him. Using the values in your print out, plot on graph paper the changes in the variables as the HCT fell. Look at CO and discuss the importance of the change in this variable as the anemia progresses. The production of red blood cells is stimulated by erythropoietin from the kidney.
More hormone is secreted when there is less oxygen delivered to the kidney.
This pressure normally provides for adequate blood flow to tissues. This is the governing equation for the cardiovascular system. Restart QCP, and insert Mr. Norm's values and units. Your textbook describes the anatomy of the systemic circulation. More gradual recovery involves replacing the lost blood by mechanisms that conserve fluids and electrolytes, and increase blood cell formation.
