Correct Answer

Explanation

Hematocrit is the term used to define the amount or percentage of red blood cells (RBCs) present in the blood. It is typically expressed as a percentage, such as 40%, which means that 40% of the volume of blood is occupied by RBCs. Hemoglobin is a protein found in RBCs that carries oxygen, while hemopoiesis is the process of blood cell formation. Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissue that helps store and transport oxygen within muscle cells.
