| mean circulatory filling p. |
a measure of the average (arterial and venous) pressure necessary to cause filling of the circulation with blood; it varies with blood volume and is directly proportional to the rate of venous return and thus to cardiac output.

| mean corpuscular h. |
the average hemoglobin content of an erythrocyte, conventionally expressed in picograms per red cell, obtained by multiplying the blood hemoglobin concentration (in g/dL) by ten and dividing by the red cell count (in millions per μL): MCH = Hb/RBC.

| mean corpuscular hemoglobin c. |
the average hemoglobin concentration in erythrocytes, conventionally expressed in “per cent” meaning grams per deciliter of red cells, obtained by dividing the blood hemoglobin concentration (in g/dL) by the hematocrit (in L/L): MCHC = Hb/Hct.

| mean corpuscular v. |
the average volume of erythrocytes, conventionally expressed in cubic micrometers or femtoliters per red cell, obtained by multiplying the hematocrit (in L/L) by 1000 and dividing by the red cell count (in millions per μL): MCV = Hct/RBC. Automated electronic blood cell counters generally obtain the MCV directly from the average pulse height of the voltage pulses produced during the red cell count. These instruments obtain the hematocrit indirectly from the equation Hct = MCV × RBC.
