Blood is essential for many organisms, such as humans and animals, for its important function of transporting substances (food, oxygen), vitamins, waste (carbon dioxide), hormones, etc. to all tissues and cells of the body.
1) Blood volume
If the blood volume increases ==> the blood flow increases.
2) Viscosity of blood
If we have an increase in blood viscosity ==> we have a decrease in blood flow
3) Peripheral Resistance
If there is an increase in peripheral resistance ==> the blood flow decreases
4) Diameter of blood vessels
If we have an increase in diameter of
blood vessels ==> decreased peripheral resistance ==> increased blood flow
5) Blood pressure
If the blood pressure increases ==> the blood flow increases.
6) In case of diseases
In the case of atherosclerosis or acute coronary syndrome ==> blood flow decreases.
7) Physical excercises:
During physical exercises ==> the heart rate increases ==> the blood flow increases.
Answer:Objective questions
Explanation:
A rock that forms when magma hardens beneath Earth's surface is called an intrusive igneous rock.
Effacement: The cervix – which is normally long and thick, measuring about 1-2 inches, starts to get shorter and thinner. This process is known as effacement. As the cervix gets more and more effaced, it gets shorter and shorter and “pulled up” into the lower part of the uterus.
Dilation: At the same time, the cervix softens and begins to open up – known as dilation. This widening, allows a smooth passage for the baby’s head and the rest of the body from the uterus into the vaginal canal.
