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 would cause a decrease in quantity of circulating red blood cells?
decrease in oral intake
Will infection cause blood glucose levels to increase or decrease?

Explain how changes in the alveolar structure cause a decrease in the blood oxygen levels in emphysema?
Decrease in alveolar surface area results in less boundary across which oxygen can be absorbed into the blood.
How would increased red blood cell production affect blood viscosity and what problems would this cause for someone with high blood pressure?
Increased increased red cell production (polycythaemia) makes blood 'thicker' and increases the tendency to clot. The main worry for someone with High Blood Pressure is that they are already at risk of heart disease and stroke so with the increased blood viscosity the risk is even higher. The type/cause of the polycythaemia is also relevant - high blood pressure itself can cause increased blood viscosity, or the cause could be genetic or some other underlying illness (eg chronic lung disease). Either way, it is important to manage the increased red blood cell situation and the hypertension swiftly. It is also important to give up smoking and lose weight.
Explain why severe vomiting and diarrhea would cause a decrease in the blood volume?
because it causes dehydration therefore there loss of water in the blood plasma
What side effects does anemarrhena cause?
Animal studies show that anemarrhena, when administered intravenously at only moderate dosage, can cause breathing difficulty and a decrease in blood pressure.
What damage can an abnormal artery cause to the heart?
These abnormalities cause the heart's blood flow to decrease and result in the condition known as coronary artery disease or coronary insufficiency.
Does increase in blood co2 increase or decrease respiratory rate?
When your oxygen levels go up and carbon dioxide levels in the body go down this will cause your heart rate to speed up. This is caused by the blood vessels opening and the heart working harder to pump the blood.
Blood pressure can be affected by a vessel diameter b blood viscosity c turbulence uneven flow of blood due irregular surface of inner blood vessel wall?
Blood Pressure can be affected by all three factors. If the vessel diameter increases (vasodilation) Blood Pressure can be lowered. Blood Viscosity can also have an affect on blood pressure, the more viscous (thicker) the blood is, the slower it will flow through the body. Finally, irregular surfaces of the blood vessel wall can cause them to catch or become stuck, which ultimately slows blood flow, reducing blood pressure!
Why do you blackout while in a rage?
When you enter a fit of rage your blood pressure will rise and the blood vessels throughout your body will constrict. This will cause a decrease in the amount of oxygen distributed throughout your body. This lack of oxygen will actually cause you to blackout.
Does rapid heart rates decrease coronary artery perfusion?
yes.. becouse with increasing heart rate the pumbing ability will decrease that will cause the pre load to not fully pumbmed .. that will cause blood statis then decreasing the after load which lead to decarese the prefusion rate
What are the side effects of the gold compounds?
may cause serious blood problems by reducing the ability of the blood forming organs to produce blood cells. These drugs may decrease the number of white blood cells, red blood cells, or both.
