Physical properties of blood include:

• blood pressure – the pressure exerted by the blood on the vessel wall
• osmolality – the total amount of osmotically active particles in 1 kg of solvent weight,
• osmotic pressure – the pressure, that must be applied to a sulotion to prevent osmosis,
  • oncotic pressure – osmotic pressure of colloidal solution (blood plasma proteins),
• tonicity – osmolality of the solution in relation to plasma; we differentiate isotonicity, hypertonicity and hypotonicity,
• viscosity – viscosity of blood, depends mainly on hematocrit,
• flow – laminar and turbulent,
• Hagen-Poiseuille law – flow dependence on viscosity and tube proportions,
• blood flow velocity.
