Blood-viscosity reducing drugs are medicines that improve blood flow by making the blood less viscous (sticky).
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.
At 37°C (98.6°F) Blood viscosity of a human is about 0.04 dynes/sec2
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
At very low Hematocrits viscosity increases because of increased stickiness between the Red Blood Cells.
yes it does i think that that is so stupid
Blood viscosity is determined by plasma viscosity. Another name for this is hematocrit. Other factors that influence blood viscosity are temperature and fluid levels.
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.

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
The viscosity of blood (cells + plasma) at 36.6 degrees Celsius (normal body temp) is 0.0027 [N-s/m^2].
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
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.
