Question
Chapter 44, Problem 4TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system. It pumps the blood to all parts of the body. The force with which the blood is pumped is termed as blood pressure. Blood pressure is maintained in order to supply an adequate amount of blood to all body parts.

(a) Calculate the average speed of the blood in the aorta if the flow rate is 5.0 L/min. The aorta has a radius of 10 mm. (b) Blood also flows through smaller blood vessels known as capillaries. When the rate of blood flow in the aorta is 5.0 L/min, the speed of blood in the capillaries is about 0.33 mm/s. Given that the average diameter of a capillary is 8.0 μm (1 μm = 1 X 10 –6 m), calculate the number of capillaries in the blood circulatory system.arrow_forward
