disc in a clockwise direction with periodically varying angular velocity. By
contrast, for RBCs that interact with neighbouring cells (Fig. 9.14 ) both transla-
tional and rotational motions change dramatically. In this case the rotation of the
RBC is no longer regular and periodic but rather in an erratic manner.
