The flow rate (F) of blood through a blood vessel describes the volume of blood that passes through the vessel per unit of time. Flow rate is affected by physical variables like the resistance of the blood vessel (R) and the pressure gradient within the blood vessel (ΔP). Which one of the following statements correctly summarizes the relationships between these variables? *Hint: F = ΔP/R a) Flow rate is equivalent to the pressure gradient multiplied by the resistance. b) Flow rate is equivalent to the pressure gradient minus the resistance. c) Flow rate is directly proportional to the pressure gradient and inversely proportional to the resistance. d) Flow rate is directly proportional to the resistance and inversely proportional to the pressure gradient.
