Step-by-step explanation:

Blood viscosity is the measurement of thickness and also, the stickiness of blood of an individual. It is the direct measure of ability of the blood to flow through blood vessels.

The measurement determines the magnitude of the friction force, the blood causes against vessels and also how hard heart has to pump blood through body, and further how much the oxygen is delivered to the organs and the tissues.
