. A common cause of cardiovascular disease is atherosclerosis, the hardening and narrowing of
arteries due to a buildup of plaque. For instance, significant narrowing in the coronary arteries,
which bring oxygenated blood to the heart, can produce symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, and
breathlessness.

(a) Using Poiseuille's Law, calculate the pressure drop across this artery. (Things to think about:
How does the pressure drop calculated in this part compare to mean arterial pressure?) Use 1…
The blood pressure in humans is greater at the feet than at the brain.
The human lungs have a volume of only about 4 L, yet an internal surface area of nearly 100 m2. Why is this important, and how is this possible?
