How does blood viscosity affect blood flow?
Peripheral resistance
What decreases peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
What would decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
What three variables affect peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Resistance is determined by three properties: the lengthand cross-sectional area of a material, and its resistivity. Since resistivity is affected by temperature, you could say that temperature indirectly affects resistance.
What are factors that affect viscosity and flow?
Pressure and temperature are the two factors that affect flow and viscosity. Viscosity refers to the resistance of a liquid to the shear forces.
What are the factors affecting peripheral resistance which influence BP?
There are three factors that increase peripheral resistance. These factors include autonomic activity, pharmacologic agents, and blood viscosity. Each factor increases the constriction of arteries, which in turn causes peripheral resistance.
What are the main factors that contribute to total peripheral resistance?
Blood vessel diameter,blood viscosity and total vessel length
What factors influences resistance to blood flow in the arteries?
resistance occurs as the blood flows away from heart through the vessels in the peripheral systemic circulation a term known as peripheral resistance. Viscosity of the blood (thickness) ,vessel length (distance) and vessel diameter (blood vessel radius) are three factors
The resistance of a liquid to following is its?
the resistance of liquid to following is its viscosity.
What is the explanation for the term total peripheral resistance?
Total peripheral resistance is the sum of the resistance of all peripheral vasculature in the systemic circulation.
How does surface tension and viscosity affect the flow of liquids?
Viscosity is the resistance of flow and surface tension is the lateral force of the bonds between the molecules
A fluid resistance to flow?
A fluid's resistance to flow is called viscosity.
