Tissue blood content in anaesthetised sheep and horses.
The blood content of tissue in eight anaesthetized sheep and three anaesthetized horses was measured using chromium labelled autologous red blood cells. 2. Approximately half the total blood volume was found to be distributed within the body tissues and, with the exception of the spleen and fat, the distribution was similar in these two species.
