The human circulation system has approximately 1 ✕ 109 capillary vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 9 µm. Assuming cardiac output is 6 L/min, determine the average velocity (in cm/s) of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
Homework Answers
Area, A = (pi/4) d^2
A = (pi/4) x (9 x 10^-6)^2 = 6.36 x 10^-11 m^2
Total area, A' = 10^9 x 6.36 x 10^-11 = 0.064 m^2
Velocity, v = (6 x 10^-3)/(0.064 x 60) = 0.156 cm/s

Arterioles bifurcate (i.e., split) into capillaries in the circulatory system. Blood flows at a velocity of 20 cm/s through an arteriole with a diameter of 0.20 cm. This vessel bifurcates into two vessels: one with a diameter of 0.17 cm and a blood flow velocity of 18 cm/sec, and one with a diameter of 0.15 cm. Each of these two vessels splits again. The 0.17-cm diameter vessel splits into two vessels, each with a diameter of 0.15 cm. The 0.15-cm...

Blood flow is 83 mL/sec through each capillary. B.) The blood pressure difference across a capillary is 20 mmHg. Assuming that a capillary is about 7um in diameter on average, and that the viscosity of blood is 0.04 poise, calculate the theoretical length of a capillary. C.) The length of a capillary can be measure directly with a microscope and it usually ranges from 0.3 to 1.0 mm. Let us assume that the average length of a capillary is 0.65...

Determine the ratio between the cross-sectional areas of two blood vessels, assuming that the voltage ratio induced in identical magnetic flow probes is equal to 2:4 and the ratio of blood flows velocity through these vessels is 3:7. (Hint: the blood flow velocity V = (B) ∗ (L) ∗ (u), V is the voltage measured by the electrodes l is the diameter of the blood vessel B is the magnitude of the magnetic field. The electrodes, magnetic field and the...

na obnerence yorm Flease sShow work & state assumptions. In the human lymphatic system, the spleen works to filter out old or damaged red blood cells and to create white blood cells (leukocytes). The spleen allows healthy red blood cells (erythrocytes) to pass through and uses lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, to break down unhealthy erythrocytes into components that can be saved and reused to make new red blood cells.
