Which of the following statements are true of blood viscosity and pH (Select all that apply)?
A)Plasma proteins decrease blood viscosity,so that blood flows smoothly.
B)The normal pH range of blood is 7.35 to 7.45.
C)Blood viscosity contributes to normal blood pressure.
D)Oxygen has a greater effect on blood pH than does carbon dioxide.

Question

Plasma proteins can contribute to viscosity, rather than decrease it. The normal pH range of blood is indeed 7.35 to 7.45, and blood viscosity contributes to normal blood pressure. Carbon dioxide has a greater effect on blood pH than oxygen, so statement D is false.
