Viscometer Flashcards
Viscometer
Purpose of device
To measure the viscosity of a liquid
Understanding the effect of different liquids on flow resistance.
High Viscosity: Indicates high flow resistance. The liquid flows slowly
Low Viscosity: Indicates low flow resistance. The liquid flows easily
Insight into the biological importance of fluid viscosity.
Maintaining proper viscosity is vital for the efficient functioning of biological systems and overall health. Abnormalities in viscosity can lead to significant medical conditions
Identification of how viscosity affects fluid dynamics in biological systems.
affecting the efficiency and functionality of processes such as blood circulation, respiration, joint lubrication, digestion, reproduction
