Abstract
Blood is the fluid which flows in the cardiovascular system. It is, however, not a pure fluid but rather a suspension of a number of different particles (cells, cell fragments and macromolecules) in a fluid base. This chapter explores the fluid behaviour of blood including the impact of the particles on this behaviour.
