The rate at which blood flows through the human body can change in response to multiple factors. Which statement describes one o

f these factors and the effect it has on blood flow?
A. The narrowing of blood vessels increases pressure and leads to faster blood flow

B. High blood viscosity increases the resistance in the blood vessels and leads to faster blood flow.

C. Low blood pH decreases the rate of diffusion through the blood vessels and leads to slower blood flow.

D. The changing of the shape of red blood cells to a crescent shape decreases resistance and leads to faster blood flow.

Answer:

B

viscosity of blood causes an increased resistance in the blood vessels and

leads to slow blood flow

Viscosity refers to the thickness of blood. This thickness is caused by the number of red

blood cells. Thick blood travels through blood vessels at a slower rate than thin blood

What crosses will reasult in all dominant phentotype offspring
Mars2501 [29]

The dominance or recessivity associated with a particular allele is the result of masking, by which a dominant phenotype hides a recessive phenotype. By this logic, in heterozygous offspring only the dominant phenotype will be apparent.

hope this helps!

How do scientists know about the liquid outer core?
kati45 [8]
<span>Earth consists of four major layers: the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core. While most of the layers are made of solid material, there are several pieces of evidence suggesting that the outer core is indeed liquid. Density, seismic-wave data and Earth’s magnetic field provide insight into not only the structure but also the composition of Earth’s core</span>
