Blood Viscosity Stems Mainly from Electrolytes and Monomers Dissolved in Plasma

Question

Blood viscosity stems mainly from electrolytes and monomers dissolved in plasma.

Accepted Answer

Blood viscosity mainly stems from the presence of red blood cells, which make up roughly 45% of blood volume. Other factors, such as proteins and lipids, also contribute to blood viscosity. Electrolytes and monomers dissolved in plasma may have some effect on viscosity, but they are not the primary contributors.
