Dehydration & Oxygen exchange


Recommended Posts

If a person is dehydrated he has low blood volume. As such his blood osmol will increase and thus you have a bigger concentration of particles in blood due to same number of particles but in lower volume. Now since your blood is more viscous it moves slower and as such would there be more or less oxygen exchange with the tissues?
