How does blood viscosity affect resistance of blood flow?

How does the viscosity of blood affect resistance of blood flow?
What could increase viscosity of the blood? What could decrease it?


Higher viscosity the slower the blood flows (more sluggishly). Think of it in terms of liquids like normal blood as water and thick blood as a type of syrup.

Eating a lot of junk food (high in cholesterol) would increase viscosity and decrease blood flow.
Eating hemp seeds (there are a few more natural alternatives, google them) or taking aspirin would decrease viscosity and increase blood flow.


the thicker the blood the slower it would flow asprin thins the blood cholestrol thickens the blood as well as narrowing the arteries so it slows it down

How blood viscosity is related to blood osmolarity?

How blood viscosity is related to blood osmolarity?? I know that the higher blood viscosity the slower the blood will take to get through your system. I'm not sure how it relates to blood osmolarity.


The blood will be more viscous as a result of increased dissolved solutes. As a result the water potential will be lower and the blood will have a higher osmolarity.

Blood viscosity?



Yes, it is a bit viscous.

"Blood consists of plasma and particles, such as the red blood cells. The viscosity of blood thus depends on the viscosity of the plasma, in combination with the hematocrit (Ht). Higher hematocrit implies higher viscosity. The relation between hematocrit and viscosity is complex and many formulas exist. One of the simplest is the one by
Einstein:
h = h(plasma) (1 + 2.5 Ht)
The viscosity of plasma is about 0.015 Poise (1.5 cP) and the viscosity of whole blood at a physiological hematocrit of 45 is about 3.2 centipoise (cP) , or 3.2 10-3 Pa.s."

Beware of the old man stroke summer _ Well-being of healthy elderly

May 17, 2011

beware of the old man stroke summer temperatures of summer continues to heat stroke incidence can be greatly increased. According to expert introduction, heat stroke prevalence of about 50 people both middle-aged, also have 80 years old, but still basically give priority to with old people, especially with hypertension, cerebrovascular chronic diseases, such as the old people.

some of them wrong to think that stroke will only occur in winter, actually 6-8 months of summer is the season, especially stroke incidence high temperature, depression hot weather will greatly increase the incidence of stroke in patients with cerebral infarction, the majority, take about 90 percent. Stroke in old people great harm to, such as not timely diagnosis and treatment will cause paralysis, and even have dangerous life, so when the temperature rise to 32 ℃ above shall actively prevention.

body water vbi incline is inducement

summer body moisture loss to a shortage of water, especially the elderly rapid originally the moisture inside body is little, plus days, the body is hot perspire more easier to water shortages. When the temperature in 32 ℃ above, the thermoregulatory depend mainly on the evaporative cooling purposes to sweat. Then people everyday sweating party dress will be roughly 1,000 milliliter above. Elderly itself the moisture inside body is less, the more easily water shortage. The body once a shortage of water, blood volume is insufficient, blood viscosity heighten, elevated blood pressure, cause losing to the brain blood obstructed. So this through subcutaneous blood circulation cooling method to realize the elderly in bad cardiac function, it is a kind of physical burden, can make the old high blood pressure, heart disease patients with hemorrhagic stroke happened.

high temperature to heat dissipation, part of the blood flowing to the brain originally should go to skin, reduce blood flow to the brain, cardiovascular function to regulate malnutrition and cerebral arteriosclerosis older men, make originally vbi brain more ischemia, cause cerebral infarction.
