12) What is a disease state that causes an increase in viscosity (again, think cells)? 13) What is a self-inflicted cause of an increase of viscosity? 14) How would an increase in viscosity effect flow rate? Why could either of these be a problem?

Question 5 Viscosity refers to the ability of a liquid to flow. The higher the viscosity, the more difficult it is to pour. This is because the particles in the liquid are closer together, making it harder for them to move past each other. In contrast, a substance with low viscosity has particles that are farther apart, making it easier to pour.
