Numerous studies have demonstrated that the rheological properties of blood are anomalous , in particular , that rate of flow through cylindrical tubing is not related linearly to the imposed gradient in pressure and that the viscosity of blood increases at low rates of flow ( 1-10 ). sitate that any study of the rheological properties of blood must examine the dependence of viscos- ity upon applied shearing stress . Investigative work on blood is complicated by the finding that the very removal of blood from the vascular system is associated with changes plasma proteins-or they may be related to structural damage of the cells and other proc- vented and data obtained on blood almost in its native state by a procedure first described by Hurthle ( 15 ), in which capillary needles were introduced into the carotid arteries of a dog ; to examine the rheological properties of human with a method based on the Hfirthle principle . different pressure gradients were obtained during human subject through a needle and polyethyl-
