Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Define mean cell haemoglobin (MCH).
A
The average volume per red cell
B
The coefficient of variation of red cell volume
C
The average conentration of ahemoglobin in given volume of packed
D
The average mass of haemoglobin per red cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -MCH quantifies the amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell. The normal values for MCH are 29 ± 2 picograms (pg) per cell. MCHC indicates the amount of hemoglobin per unit volume. In contrast to MCH, MCHC correlates the hemoglobin content with the volume of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) is a measurement of the average amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to organs and tissues of your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), which measures the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), which also measures hemoglobin in red blood cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) is a measurement of the average amount of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell (RBC) as it relates to the volume of the cell.
