Dilution of the blood by IV administration of excessive amounts of hypotonic solutions, which causes progressive swelling and eventual rupture of the erythrocyte, also results in hemolysis. Also spelled haemolysis. Also called hematolysis. See also hemolysin, hemolytic anemia, transfusion reaction.
Rolling resistance is a complex phenomenon, but simply put, it is the energy a tire consumes while rolling under a load. The resistance is influenced by the friction between the tire tread and the road surface, and the amount of energy consumed by the flexing of the tire sidewalls as the tire rolls over the road.
Resistance - is opposition to flow and is a measure of the amount of friction blood encounters as it passes through the vessels. Blood flow (F) is directly proportional to the difference in blood pressure (Î´P) between two points in the circulation, that is, the blood pressure, or hydrostatic pressure, gradient. Thus, when Î´P increases, blood flow speeds up, and when Î´P decreases, blood flow declines.
