Question
In what vessel is the blood pressure the highest? The lowest? In what vessel is blood flow rate the fastest? The slowest? Why is the pressure and rate in the capillaries important to capillary function? (pages $100-01$ )
Step 1
This is because the arteries receive blood directly from the heart which is pumped under high pressure. Therefore, we can write this as: \[ \text{Highest blood pressure} = \text{Arteries} \] Show more…
