Does anybody have the answers to physioex 9.0 exercise 5? I am having a hard time answering the questions. Here are a couple of them:

Activity 2, #4
Discuss the effect that polycythemia would have on viscosity and on blood flow.

Activity 5, #1
Explain the effect of increasing the right flow tube radius on the flow rate, resistance, and pump rate.

Polycythemia is an increase in the red blood cell numbers. This would result in an increase in viscosity and a corresponding decrease in blood flow.

Explain the effect of increasing the right flow tube radius on the flow rate, resistance, and pump rate.

As the right flow tube radius is increased, blood flow increases, resistance decreases and the pump rate increases.
