ALTERNATIVE VIEW ON BLOOD AND BLOOD PLASMA IN THE VASCULATURE

Results of an experimental study blood properties are reported. To approach the boundary conditions biophysics in a real flow, viscoelastic measurements carried out on surfaces coated with 10-nm thick fibrous layer composed extracellular matrix protein. For native whole blood, plateau shear elastic modulus as function frequency is observed. The immediate consequence elasticity that it necessary to exceed stress threshold so can flow. This depends conditions.
