â Blood viscosity â Total blood vessel length â Blood vessel diameter Resistance â¢ Factors that remain relatively constant: â Blood viscosity â¢ The stickiness of blood due to formed elements and plasma proteins â¢ Increased viscosity = increased resistance â Blood vessel length â¢ Longer vessel = greater resistance encountered
Jasmonic acid (JA) is derived from the fatty acid linolenic acid. It is a member of the jasmonate class of plant hormones. It is biosynthesized from linolenic acid by the octadecanoid pathway.
Saliva moistens dry food and contains salivary amylase, a digestive enzyme that begins the digestion of carbohydrates. Mucus serves as a protective barrier and lubricant inside of the GI tract. Hydrochloric acid helps to digest food chemically and protects the body by killing bacteria present in our food.
