Factor due to which Viscosity of blood increase?

Blood viscosity is determined by plasma viscosity. Another name for this is hematocrit. Other factors that influence blood viscosity are temperature and fluid levels.


Which events will tend to cause a decrease in blood viscosity?

Anemia can lead to decrease blood viscosity, which may lead to heart failure. Other factors influencing blood viscosity include temperature, where an increase in temperature results in a decrease in viscosity. This is particularly important in hypothermia, where an increase in blood viscosity will cause problems with blood circulation.


What are blood-viscosity reducing drugs?

Blood-viscosity reducing drugs are medicines that improve blood flow by making the blood less viscous (sticky).


What causes viscosity to increases and decrease?

Blood carries white blood cells, red blood cells, hormones and other substances. Internal friction within in the blood (viscosity) is caused by the percentage of these cells in the blood. A higher percentage of cells in the blood means the viscosity is higher. Red blood cells are the hematocrit. When the hematocrit is decreased such as occurs with anemia, the viscosity of the blood is decreased.


What is the range for viscosity of the blood?

At 37°C (98.6°F) Blood viscosity of a human is about 0.04 dynes/sec2

How does blood viscosity affect blood flow?

Peripheral resistance


What does increased blood viscosity mean?

Yes. As the blood increases in viscosity, the heart is required to increase the amount of pressure it takes to push the blood through the vasculature; thus the blood pressure increases


What decreases peripheral resistance to blood flow?

Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity


How does aspirin affect blood viscosity?

yes it does i think that that is so stupid


What has the most important effect on blood velocity?

Blood viscosity is the most important efect on blood velocity. Viscosity meaning how thin or thick the blood is. Velocity meaning the flow of blood. If the blood is too thick it's velocity will be slow. If the blood is thin, the blood will flow faster.


What is the Medical term meaning thickness of blood?
