Heres some of the questions. Exercise 5, Activity 2.
1. Describe the components in the blood that affect viscosity.
2. Explain the effect that the viscosity change had on flow rate.
3. Describe the graph of flow versus viscosity
4. Discuss the effect that polycythemia would have on viscosity and on blood flow.

Exercise 5 Activity 2
1.The viscosity of blood is due to the presence of plasma proteins and formed elements(RBC, WBC, and platelets). Formed elements and plasma proteins in the blood slide past one another, increasing the resistance to flow.

#2...The higher the viscosity the lower the flow rate. An inverse relationship.

#3...The graph was not linear. It showed the relationship between viscosity and flow rate is not inversly proportional
