In what vessel is the blood pressure the highest? The lowest? In what vessel is blood flow rate the fastest? The slowest? Why are the pressure and rate in the capillaries important to capillary function? (pages $100-101$ )
Identify the type of blood vessel. Is this a HIGH PRESSURE or LOW PRESSURE vessel?

(a) What is the pressure difference required to make blood flow through an artery of inner radius $2.0 \mathrm{mm}$ and length $0.20 \mathrm{m}$ at a speed of $6.0 \mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s} ?$ (b) What is the pressure difference required to make blood flow at $0.60 \mathrm{mm} / \mathrm{s}$ through a capillary of radius $3.0 \mu \mathrm{m}$ and length $1.0 \mathrm{mm} ?$ (c) Compare both answers to your average blood pressure, about 100 torr.
