Notes:
Summary Human plasma viscosity was measured in capillary tube, cone-plate and Couette viscometers. The measurement of the viscosity at very low shear rates showed that plasma is a non-Newtonian fluid with a pseudoplastic rheological behaviour. The importance of this phenomenon for the microcirculation is discussed.
