What term means how thick or thin blood is?
Viscosity
What can change viscosity?
A change in plasma/plasma proteins or hematocrit.
Increased viscosity which will result in increased resistance and decreased flow can come from?
Increased hematocrit

Osmolarity
How can osmolarity alter blood pressure?
Water will follow increased ion concentration (increased NaCl =
increased BP)
