Question

4. How would having a high blood viscosity affect your ability to climb stairs? Explain your answer interms of homeostasis of oxygen/carbon dioxide levels

Answer 1

Having a high blood viscosity will slow down ability to climb stairs. This is

because high blood viscosity is associated with high blood pressure.

The binding of oxygen to the blood is reduced in a blood with high viscosity

as there is difficulty in the transport of blood for oxygenation due to its

higher density. This allows fro accumulation of carbon dioxide in the blood

which is harmful to body cells.

High blood viscosity will therefore reduce one's ability to climb stairs and

perform other activities.
