Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question: What effect do you think increasing the viscosity will have on the fluid flow rate? Your answer : c. The fluid flow rate will decrease. Stop & Think Questions: What is the relationship between fluid flow and viscosity? You correctly answered: b. They are inversely proportional to each other. What effect do you think aplastic anemia (reduced red blood cells) would have on blood flow? Your answer : b. decreased blood flow due to decreased viscosity Correct answer: a. increased blood flow due to decreased viscosity Experiment Data: Flow (ml/min) 490.6 245.3 163.5 122.7 98.1

Post-lab Quiz Results You scored 75% by answering 3 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. The variable that you altered in this activity was You correctly answered: a. viscosity. 2. Increasing viscosity resulted in You did not answer this question. Correct answer: b. decreased flow rate. 3. What effect would a decreased hematocrit have on blood flow? You correctly answered: d. decreased viscosity, increased flow 4. What do you predict would be the overall affect on viscosity during dehydration? You correctly answered: b. increased viscosity, decreased flow

Review Sheet Results 1. Describe the components in the blood that affect viscosity. Your answer: Plasma proteins, white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. 2. Explain the effect that the viscosity change had on flow rate. How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: An increase in viscosity lead to a decrease in flow rate. 3. Describe the graph of flow versus viscosity. Your answer: The increase in visosity is an exponential graph. If viscosity is increases, the blood flow decreases exponentially. 4. Discuss the effect that polycythemia would have on viscosity and on blood flow. Your answer: Polycythemia is elevated red blood cells, this would increase viscosity which will reduce the blood flow by about half.
