Suppose an occlusion in an artery reduces its diameter by 15$\%$ , but the volume flow rate of blood in the artery remains the same. By what factor has the pressure drop across the length of this artery increased?
Because the flow speed in your capillaries is much less than in the aorta, the total cross-section area of the capillaries considered together must be much larger than that of the aorta. Given the flow speeds noted, the total area of the capillaries considered together is equivalent to the cross-section area of a single vessel of approximately what diameter? A. $25 \mathrm{cm}$ B. $50 \mathrm{cm}$ $\mathrm{C} .75 \mathrm{cm}$ D. $100 \mathrm{cm}$
Blood flows more slowly in the arterioles than in the artery that supplies them because the arterioles a. have thoroughfare channels to venules that are often closed off, slowing the flow of blood. b. have sphincters that restrict flow to capillary beds. c. are narrower than the artery. d. collectively have a larger cross-sectional area than does the artery.
