<p>In <a href="page.php?w=hematology">hematology</a>, <b>erythrocyte deformability</b> refers to the ability of <a href="page.php?w=erythrocytes">erythrocytes</a> (red blood cells, RBCs) to change shape under a given level of applied <a href="page.php?w=Stress_%28mechanics%29">stress</a> without <a href="page.php?w=Hemolysis_%28microbiology%29">hemolysing</a> (rupturing). This is an important property because erythrocytes must change their shape extensively under the influence of mechanical forces in <a href="page.php?w=fluid_flow">fluid flow</a> or</p><p>
