Blood Volume Per Kilogram of Body Weight Varies Inversely With

Question

Blood volume per kilogram of body weight varies inversely with:
A)skeletal volume.
B)body fat.
C)water weight.
D)height.

Accepted Answer

Body fat has an inverse relationship with blood volume per kilogram of body weight. This means that as body fat increases, blood volume per kilogram of body weight decreases. This is because fat does not have a high water content and blood is primarily made up of water. Therefore, individuals with a higher percentage of body fat will have a lower blood volume per kilogram of body weight compared to individuals with a lower percentage of body fat.
