Abstract
The physical properties of red blood cell membranes pertinent to deformability are the membrane shear modulus, the bending stiffness and shear viscosity. In filtration tests the rate of deformation is sufficiently high that the viscous behaviour of the membrane and of cell contents predominate.Keywords
