<p>The <b>mean corpuscular volume</b>, or <b>mean cell volume</b> (<b>MCV</b>), is a measure of the average volume of a red blood corpuscle (or <a href="page.php?w=red_blood_cell">red blood cell</a>). The measure is obtained by multiplying a volume of blood by the proportion of blood that is cellular (the <a href="page.php?w=hematocrit">hematocrit</a>), and dividing that product by the number of <a href="page.php?w=erythrocyte">erythrocyte</a>s (red blood cells) in that volume.
