L (a) The heart pumps blood into the aorta at a rate of 4 Calculate the average speed of blood if min the aorta's diameter is 2.1 cm. cm V blood 0.01198 S mm (b) The aorta branches many times until the blood finally reaches the smallest branch: the capillaries. Each capillary has an average diameter of 6.9 μm and the blood slows down to 0.5 the number of capillaries in the body. Does this answer look reasonable? Calculate S n = 1.8397X10 × capillaries caps (c) For what duration of time is a red blood cell in a capillary if the average capillary length is 1 mm? t = 167.06 S
