Which of the following statements is true? Explain each choice. a. The aorta presents the greatest resistance to flow. b. The venules have a greater total surface area than any other type of vessel. c. At any given time, the capillaries collectively contain the greatest volume of blood. d. Intraluminal pressure drops steeply at the capillaries distal to arterioles.

For turbulent flow of a fluid in a pipe, all of the following are true, except: (a) The average velocity will be nearly the same as at the pipe center. (b) Energy lost due to turbulence and friction varies with kinetic energy. (c) Pipe roughness affects the friction factor or coefficient. (d) Reynolds number will be higher than 2,000. (e) Flow of gases and high viscosity liquids is usually turbulent.

Effect of Vessel Diameter on Resistance and Flow Blood flow is determined by the interrelationships of pressure, viscosity, overall vessel length, resistance, and vessel diameter. Relationship Between Radius and Resistance - II Select all of the statements below that are TRUE. Check All That Apply Doubling the radius will double the resistance. Doubling the radius will halve the resistance. Doubling the radius will increase the resistance by a factor of 16. A 10% increase in radius results in a 32% decrease in resistance.
