The volume of plasma and erythrocytes in individual bones and in the spleen of mice under physiological conditions and with acute radiation-induced atrophy of the haemopoietic tissue.

Using labelled erythrocytes and human serum albumin, the volume of circulating erythrocytes and plasma was determined in the spleen and individual parts of the skeleton of mice under physiological conditions and 48 h after X-irradiation with a dose of 2,87 Gy. The results are significant for the interpretation of the method of incorporation of labelled iron into haemopoietic organs.
