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 diameter vessel splits into two vessels, each with a diameter of 0.12 cm. Determine the mass flow rate and velocity of blood in each of the four vessels at the end of the arteriole bifurcations. You may need to set up several systems, each with a different system boundary, in order to solve this problem.

A) What is the flow speed in the arterioles? B) What is the pressure difference across a 1.0 cm length of arteriole? (USE THE CHART BELOW TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS) Use the data describing blood flow in the circulatory system from the table below, and assume a typical blood flow rate of 5.0 L per minute.

When the rate of blood flow in the aorta is 5 liter/min, the velocity of the blood in the capillaries is about 0.33 mm/sec. If the average diameter of a capillary is 0.008 mm, calculate the number of capillaries in the circulatory system. . . . answer key : N = 7,5 x 10⁴

5. What is the PRIMARY (main) reason that blood continues to flow through the circulatory system during diastole? a. The one-way valves of the veins prevent backflow. b. Elastic energy stored in the large artery walls maintains a hydrostatic pressure gradient. c. An increase in arteriole diameter enhances flow to the systemic tissues. d. The skeletal muscle pump pushes blood through the entire circulatory system.
The blood pressure at your heart is approximately 100 mm of Hg. As blood is pumped from the left ventricle of your heart, it flows through the aorta, a single large blood vessel with a diameter of about 2.5 cm. The speed of blood flow in the aorta is about 60 cm/s. Any change in pressure as blood flows in the aorta is due to the change in height: the vessel is large enough that viscous drag is not a...
26. The velocity of blood flow is in direct proportion to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels b, slower in the arteries than in capillaries because arteries relatively large diameter slower in the veins than in the capillaries because veins diameter slowest in the capillaries b c. have a large d. ecause the total cross-sectional area is the 27. Which of these is NOT a function of lymph nodes a. house B-lymphocytes b. filter lymph d. produce lymphocytes...
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.

BLOOD AND FLUID QUESTION 1 (0A patient's blood pressure taken at the arm is 120 mmHg systolic and 70 mmHg diastolic. What would you expect the blood pressure (systolic and diastolic pressures) to be at the top of the head given that this point is 40 cm above the measurement point? Remember blood pressure is a gauge pressure and that 1 kPa = 7.5 mmHg. (The density of blood is about 1060 kg/m.) Choose one: a. 89...
In hemodynamics, blood flow through the cardiovascular system
can be modeled as an electric circuit in which the blood serves as
electricity, the blood vessels as resistive wires, and the heart as
a battery (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 Cardiovascular circuit model
Ohm’s law states that the voltage drop ΔV across each element,
the current I flowing through it, and its electrical
resistance R are related by ΔV = IR. In a blood vessel, pressure
difference between one vessel and...
