A doctor prescribes a blood thinner to a patient with high blood pressure. What

Biology
1 answer:
OLga [1]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The patient will have increased blood flow and decreased blood viscosity.

Explanation:

Thinning blood makes it, for lack of better term, thinner. This means it must have a lower viscosity. (For examples of viscosity, think of pouring out a glass of water versus a glass of maple syrup. The syrup has a much higher viscosity, and will take longer.)

As demonstrated in the above example, liquids with lower viscosity flow faster. This means the patient's blood flow will increase, as it will be easier for the blood to move through capillaries and the heart won't have to push as hard to move the blood through the body.

These results correspond with answer B or D, which, at the time of this answer, are identical. Whichever answer states increased blood flow and decreased viscosity is correct.

Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]

Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.
