The most important factor for changing blood flow through a vessel based on Poiseuille's equation is... a. Viscosity of the blood b. Laminar blood flow. c. The length of the vessel d. The radius of the vessel
Added by John R.
Step 1
Poiseuille's law is used to calculate the flow rate (\(Q\)) of an incompressible and Newtonian fluid in a pipe or a cylindrical vessel. The equation is given by \(Q = \frac{\pi \Delta P r^4}{8 \mu l}\), where \(Q\) is the flow rate, \(\Delta P\) is the pressure Show more…
