In circulatory biomechanics which of the following is true-
Blood viscosity is increased in anemia
Blood viscosity is decreased in polycythemia
Cardiac output is increased in anemia
Cardiac output is decreased in Beri-Beri
Ans. is 'c' i.e., Cardiac output is increased in anemia o Cardiac output is increased in conditions which cause decrease in peripheral vascular resistanceExerciseAV fistula or shuntSevere anemiaThyrotoxicosisWet beri-beriAbout other optionso Blood viscosity is lowr in anemia and high in polycythemia.
