What order of viscosity would honey blood water and paracetmol suspension come?

Whoever this is I think you are doing the pharmaceutical technican course, am I right!! In order - Honey,paracetamol suspension, blood,honey, I think... I have to check my answer with the pharmacist tomorrow, but think about it...from the most "gloopy"to the least gloopy syrupy... double check with the pharmacist tomorrow, write your answer in pencil and make changes if necessary!!

Why does blood pressure increase after exercising?

This depends on the exercise you are talking about. I assume, given the question that you are referring to aerobic exercise, in which the heart rate increase is sustained and prolonged, rather than isometric exercise where you are simply using a single muscle group to exert a force.

In aerobic exercise (running, swimming, basketball, long bouts of sexual activity with Mrs. Smith etc) there is significant work being done by large groups of muscles. These muscles are going to try to work aerobically (utilizing oxygen as the means for producing the ATP necessary for contraction) as much as possible rather than going anaerobic (being unable to utilize oxygen and falling back on more primitive, less efficient, and lactic acid producing pathways). As they are working harder than usual they require more oxygen than usual and the only way they can have an increase in oxygen is by having an increase in blood (the red blood cells in blood carry oxygen to the tissues of the body). The body has two ways of getting more blood to an organ - Viagra requested by Mary, or through the vasodilation and increased cardiac output.

1. It can dilate the blood vessels that lead to the end organ. Blood vessels, like a spigot, can tighten and loosen by a variety of mechanisms. The response to aerobic exercise of a blood vessel is to loosen up and allow a greater amount of blood to flow to the muscle group. The diastolic blood pressure of the body is mostly determined by the overall resistance of the entire vascular system to flow (this is the pressure of the vascular system when the heart is not beating). Thus during aerobic exercise the body relaxes the blood vessels in order to maximize flow to the newly high demand areas of the body (the legs, back and arms that are working so vigorously while swimming...for example) while keeping flow brisk to the other areas that are always high demand (the brain, the kidneys, etc). The body might also tighten the blood vessels to areas that are not quite as needed since other areas have taken over in their need for blood. Overall the body does this delicate balancing act of opening certain areas up, keeping certain areas open, and tightening certain areas down. The sum total of all this is usually either an overall decrease in systemic vascular resistance, or no increase at all - thus the diastolic blood pressure does not rise, and may in fact go down during heavy aerobic exercise.

2. The other way to get more blood is to make the pump that pushes the blood around work harder. Of course you know that this pump in the human body is the heart and to make it pump more the body simply makes it beat faster. Since the heart is beating faster (generally at least twice as many times as what it does at rest during strenuous aerobic activity) you can imagine that the pressure the body feels due to this increased pump activity is greater. The systolic pressure measures the pressure of the vascular system while the heart is beating - and since it's now beating twice as hard this pressure increases (not by a factor of two, but it does generally increase). Thus your systolic blood pressure increase during exercise is mainly a function of increased heart rate and contractile....while the diastolic decrease (or lack of increase) is a function of a relaxation of the end vascular tension in the capillary and arteriole beds of the muscle groups working so hard.

How does the circulatory and excretory systems work together?

All organ systems work together in order for a body to function. The circulatory system and the excretory system work together to rid the body of wastes. As blood travels to the kidneys, unneeded materials are filtered out through the rest of the excretory system and the filtrated blood is carried away via the Renal vein.

What can happen if you don't take care of the circulatory system?

Well,you wouldn't have a long life that's for sure.You'll probably get diseases and your blood won't flow well.

Why does the respiratory system need Cardiovascular system?

In simple terms, the respiratory system and the circulatory system rely on each other. The lungs bring the oxygen to the blood supply and the blood supply then sends the oxygen throughout the body to all the vital organs and tissues. The blood supply also picks up the leftover blood that has used up all its oxygen and brings it back to the lungs to start the process over again.

Why do you think the human circulatory system is described as a double system?

Not only does it circulate metabolites, hormones, and other molecules, it also serves to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide for respiration.

Describe each parts of circulatory system?

There are 3 parts the heart, the blood, and the blood vessels.

HEART: the function of the heart is to pump the blood and so the blood could keep moving through out your whole body.

THE BLOOD: the blood you have in your body carries nutrients, water, oxygen and waste products to form your body cells.

THE BLOOD VESSELS: there are three types of blood vessels Arteries, Capillaries and the Veins

ArteriesArteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen rich blood AWAY from the heart. Remember, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away, A A Arteries Away.CapillariesCapillaries are tiny blood vessels as thin or thinner than the hairs on your head. Capillaries connect arteries to veins. Food substances(nutrients), oxygen and wastes pass in and out of your blood through the capillary walls.VeinsVeins carry blood back toward your heart.

Which plants first developed a circulatory system?

Mosses and worts are non-vascular. The ferns were the first plant species to develop a circulatory system that lets them grow larger. They have roots, leaves, stems, and trunks. With their new vascular system, the sky was the limit for plants.

What happens After the heart pumps oxygen rich blood to the aorta then the oxygen rich blood enters cells where does it go next?

After the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta, the blood travels through a network of arteries and arterioles, eventually reaching the capillaries where oxygen is delivered to the cells. Once the oxygen is utilized by the cells for metabolic processes, carbon dioxide and other waste products are produced. The deoxygenated blood then collects these wastes and returns to the heart through venules and veins, ultimately entering the right atrium to be pumped to the lungs for reoxygenation.

What parts of the respiratory system and circulatory system work together?

the diaphragm is one of them im not sure what the other is

the diaphragm is one of them im not sure what the other is

Name 5 human body systems?

There are many different body systems for example, "Muscular, skeletal, reproductive, respiratory, and integumentary".

The systems of the human body are the Digestive, Respiratory, Circulatory, Muscular, Skeletal, Reproductive, Nervous, and Excretory.

What are four different causes of circulatory failure?

Cardiogenic shock- results from any type of heart failure.

Hypovolemic shock- results from the loss of blood volume in the blood vessels "low blood".

Neurogenic shock- results from widespread dilation of blood vessels caused by an imbalance in autonomic stimulation of smooth muscles in vessel walls.

Anaphylactic- results from an acute allergic reactioncalled anaphylaxis.

During exercise why do you breathe faster?

We breath faster because we're tired of running and if we hyperventilate then we don't have to run anymorebecause all organs of body than required more energy,as a great work is being done i-e exercise.Its well known that oxygen is utilized in the break down of body food,glucose.so more work,more energy,more oxygen,more breathing

What is the purpose of cardiovascular system?

To:

a) Carry oxygen from the lungs to your cells.

b) Carry chemical "messengers" called Hormones throughout your body.

c) Carry nutrients to the cells

d) Carry wastes away from your cells

e) Spread heat throughout the body.
