Abstract: The effects of body acceleration and magnetic field on human body under varied conditions (Normal and decreased) have been investigated in these studies. Physiological parameters that affect human body such as stress, resistance to flow and flow rates have been computed for Normal blood and diseased blood. One of the most important aspects of these studies is that the investigation accounts for the effects of blood cells by accounting blood as a micro-continuum fluid (couple stress (Stokes, 1966)). Effects of blunted velocity profile (one of the anomalies of blood flows) have also been accounted in these studies. The results have been quantified and found that the results agree the physical observations.
