ABSTRACT: The study of hemorheology has become an important field in biomedical research. Blood is a complex substance and it performs various functions in the human body. The blood viscosity plays an important role which affects the flow of blood.

It is a specialized part of fluid mechanics and is concerned primarily with non-Newtonian substances like Blood. Blood is a vital fluid found in human beings and other animals. It contains many chemical compounds to perform various functions. Healthy blood varies in viscosity as it flows normally and becomes much “thinner” by the time it reaches the capillaries.
From a hemorheological point of view, fluids can be divided into two main groups
(1) Newtonian fluids, (2) Non-Newtonian …show more content…
Because high blood viscosity always leads to a slow down of circulation and reduces oxygenation of tissues. Therefore variations in the viscosity of blood definitely, have the adverse effects on the human beings.
