Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following conditions can lead to increased blood viscosity?
  • Step 1: Understand what blood viscosity means. It refers to how thick or sticky the blood is.
  • Step 2: Know that blood is made up of cells (like red blood cells) and plasma (the liquid part).
  • Step 3: Realize that if there is less water in the blood (like during dehydration), the concentration of cells and proteins increases.
  • Step 4: Recognize that a higher concentration of cells and proteins makes the blood thicker.
  • Step 5: Conclude that dehydration can lead to increased blood viscosity.
