what does the viscosity of blood mostly effect?

it affects everything.\nfor example CVA or Cereborvascular Arrest or Stroke - it damages the brain tissue, brought about by the obstruction of the arterioles by fat deposits, a condition called artherosclerosis, leading to rupture then, brain hemorrhage or the so-called intracerebral hemorrhage. Then it causes an increased intracranial pressure, brought about by the change of volume inside the rigid skull by the obstructed CSF, blood and tissue itself. If untreated, it will damage the respiratory center, the "Medulla Oblongata". \nNow, CVA depending on which side of the brain it has damaged. Damage on the left hemisphere leads to a right-sided heart failure. Right sided heart failure causes pitting edema on the extremities, which is brought by the inadequate supply of blood by the Enlarged Left ventricle of the heart. I almost forgot, that the risk factor of this is hypertension. Damage on the right hemisphere leads to left-sided heart failure, then in turn causes pulmonary edema. \nSee, a simple thickening of blood can cause all that. But you may ask 'why everything'? Now, read and study the anatomy and physiology of the brain. Brain is the 'control center' to be simple. It has connections and recieves information from other parts of the body. It is the main reason why we think, why we feel hungry, why we feel love(it is not the heart), why we move, why we do whatever we do. \n\nNow, imagine it damaged.\n\nDo your body a favor, stop smoking and drinking alcohol. Lower cholesterol intake, Too much LDLs are bad. Regular exercise, and diet modification is important.

The correct answer is definitely C.  It has no effect on blood flow.  Blood is not able to flow through the basement membrane of the glomerulus because of the increase in hydrostatic pressure in the capsule.  Again, we just learned about this in med school.

viscosity is the stickness/thickness of liquid. It is a constant for each liquid in relation to its temperature because when you heat stuff up, it flows a little better.\n\nexample: if you heat up honey it goes from being really viscous to flowing better than water at near boling temperatures. You can also look at metals this way too, if you met metal, the hotter the metal, the faster it will flow to where  ever you are trying to get it to go. Lava is a good example as well.

weight (second order effects), roughness, types of materials, speed (second order effects), moisture content (humidity. affects materials such as wood), temperature (ie hot rubber sticks). if the object is moving fast, then aerodynamics can actually effect it by forcing air into the area of contact for example (eg hydroplaning on wet road where water gets between rubber and the road).

i dont think so. it does have an effect. too much water may dilite your blood. the best solution is to self restrain and control the amount of water you drink. \nwell, good luck to you. hope everything is all right. ;)

Viscous dissipation of fluid means the fluid is relatively thick in consistency.  The fluid will flow at a slow rate because of this.  It's the difference between the rates of flow of fluids such as water and motor oil or honey.  The greater the viscosity, the slower the flow.  Greater viscosity will cause the fluid to flow at such a slow rate that the fluid will appear to coat the surface that it is on.  Again, motor oils of varying viscosities will display this characteristic to lesser or greater degrees.

The red color of blood is primarily due to oxygenated red cells.

For magmas, just remember that viscosity increases greatly with silica (SiO2) content, and decreases with higher temperature. Silica content affects viscosity because SiO2 in magma tends  to form long, stringy molecules, making the magma thicker, or "stickier." And, viscous magma erupts more violently. Low viscosity magma, like silica-poor basalt, is runny and escapes easily to the surface without much "excitement."

The time it takes blood to circulate in the human vascular system varies with age, body size and condition, and whether the person is resting or engaged in vigorous physical and/or emotional activity. Nevertheless, on average the blood fully circulates in the human body some seven to eight times per minute.

Viscosity can be measured in a variety of\nunits. A convenient unit to use is the Poise.\n\nThe viscosity of water at room temp is\nabout 1 cP or 0.01 Poise.\n\nThe viscosity of glycerol or honey is probably\nsomething like 500-1000 cP..ie thicker than\nwater.\n\nShampoo is from my experience something\nlike 10-100 cP, ie. thicker than water but runnier than honey..\n\ns.

To answer the question directly: yes it does. However, it's not a simple black-and-white answer. There are several things which affect one's resting pulse rate: degree of fitness of the individual, hormonal im/balances, and the list goes on. Check this link for further info: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003081.htm\n\nIt is a generally accepted fact that on a weight-to-weight basis, women's average pulse rates are about 10% higher than men's, but this can be usually be explained away easily by physiological differences: hormones present in the human female which are NOT found in the human male, such as estrogen, progesterone, oxytocin (and the list goes on) can have drastic effects on a female's resting pulse rate (either up or down). In addition, sexual characteristic differences can affect one's pulse rate, and I offer the following as an example: If a female has an unusually large menstrual flow, the loss of blood during that particular cycle will be compensated for in two ways, that is, immediate and long-term. Immediately, the female body will attempt to maintain a steady blood pressure in the body which, if blood is being lost in a significant amount, the circulatory system will respond with an accelerated heartbeat to compensate for the decreasing blood pressure (and therefore lack of oxygen getting delivered to the body) from the excessive menstrual flow. In the long term, especially in the case of heavy menstrual flow, erythropoeitin levels (that hormone which causes the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells) will tend to increase, which in turn will cause a female's resting pulse rate to decrease, especially during the non-menstrual period. Eventually, the release of more red blood cells (those responsible for carrying oxygen to the body and its various parts), will compensate for the female body's blood loss due to their period. \n\nIn conclusion, YES, gender does have an affect on resting pulse rate, for at least two reasons: (1) physiological differences (generally speaking, women are physically smaller than men), and (2) the fact that several hormonal interactions occurring in the female happen on a weekly to monthly basis (as mentioned above, but not limited to) heavy menstrual flow (and even menstrual-related anemia in extreme cases), will cause aberrations and fluctuations in resting pulse rates observed in women that do not (or seldomly) occur in males.\n\nAnd you can quote me on that! :)\n\nBest regards,\n\n-Dean (B.Sc. animal microbiology and pathology; M.Sc. aminal microbiology and immunology)\n\nP.S., will you really love me forever if this answer is good enough for you? :)

I have  read awhile back that taking ginko will cause the bloodvessels to relax  and become soft . So this would be a worry  to me of a possible  anyurism.( sorry not sure of my spelling of that)

it doesn't normally get a lot of blood (unless it's hard).  same reason your hands/feet get cold.

I think it's normally the viscosity of a 1% solution in 1% acetic acid.

Ask a doctor about that when you go to the hospital for losing all that blood.\n\nJust kidding I hope.\n\nReally though, it just depends on the health condition of the person and the physical makeup of the person and I don't know you so I can't tell you the effect it would have on you.

No. Lets say you have high triglycerides. Whether you rid yourself of some of that blood thru donation still leaves the rest of your blood with a high triglyceride count. Your body will compensate, like it constantly does, by making new blood for you. That new blood will have the same properties as the old. Why? \n\nBecause high triglycerides happen on a cellular level. If your body is unhealthy and making too many triglycerides it will continue make them in the new blood. The only way to lower this problem is by diet and exercise, or at least diet.
