Regarding haemodynamic principles, which statement is FALSE?

Question

TuteeHUB · Accepted Answer

an increase in total peripheral resistance leads to increased arterial volume and BP

TuteeHUB · Answer

viscosity of blood with haematocrit of 40 is three times that of water

TuteeHUB · Answer

arterial  blood volume is 10-15% total volume

TuteeHUB · Answer

elastance  measures a vessel s stiffness or recoil

TuteeHUB · Answer

aging causes increased elastance and therefore decrease in resting (unstressed) arterial volume
