     - The actual volume of blood flowing through a blood vessel
     - Anything that blocks the flow of blood in a blood vessel
     - A measure of the amount of friction blood encounters as it passes through a blood vessel
     - A measure of the thickness of blood
     - Blood that does NOT flow smoothly and linearly
     - The amount of blood pumped by the heart in one minute

Expert Solution
Step 1

Blood flow is governed by physical laws that are dependent on pressure and resistance. The flow of blood will increase as the pressure differential between the two places increases. The blood flow is reduced as the resistance rises. For the body's blood circulation to function normally, these numbers are crucial.
