In anemia the lower hematocrit results in less oxygen in a given volume of blood. Anemia also decresases the viscosity of the blood. Part A: Use Ohm’s law to determine how anemia would affect flow rate if the pressure remains constant. Refer to the reading or class slides. - The flow rate would increase. - The flow rate would drop Part B: Use Ohm’s law to determine how anemia would affect blood pressure if the flow rate remains constant. - The pressure would increase - The pressure would drop

Answer #1

As per ohm's law analogy,

resistance to flow = pressure drop / flow rate

so, we can see resistance to flow (viscosity) decreases, the flow rate would increase.
