The average speed of blood in the aorta is 0.367 m/s, and the radius of the aorta is 1.00 cm. There are about 2.00 x 109 capillaries with an average radius of 6.66 µm. What is the approximate average speed of the blood flow in the capillaries? mm/s
Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the thickening of the arterial wall. In this condition a deposit forms on the arterial wall, reducing the opening through which the blood flows. Suppose that because of this disease, the area of the clogged artery is 0.8 of the area of the normal artery. If the blood is moving at 0.40 m/s in the normal artery, find its speed at the clogged portion of the artery.
The human circulation system has approximately 1×109 capillary vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 8 μm. Assuming cardiac output is 5 L/min, determine the average velocity of blood flow through each capillary vessel.

The aorta carries blood away from the heart and eventually branches into a large number of capillaries that distribute the blood to various body organs. If for an average person, the aorta has a radius of 1.2 cm and blood travels through it at a speed of 45 cm/s and the capillaries have an average radius of 5.0 x 104 cm and blood travels through them at a speed of 0.005 cm/s, determine the approximate number of capillaries in the human body. capillaries Vinuing Sound Work Bovert to I Rocponco
The aorta is the principal blood vessel through which blood leaves the heart in order to circulate around the body. (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 , calculate the number of capillaries in the blood circulatory system.
The human circulation system has approximately 1 × 109 capillary vessels. Each vessel has a diameter of about 8μm . Assuming cardiac output is 5 L/min, determine the average velocity of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
The heart pumps blood at an average flow rate of 84.5 into the aorta, which has a diameter of 1.5 cm. Determine the average speed of the blood in the aorta. cm³/s cm/s If the diameter of the aorta is reduced to 1.0 cm, but the volumetric flow is the same, what will the new speed of the blood be? cm/s
(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 4.00 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 9.5 cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area of the capillaries feeding these venules? (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is20.0 μm?
The leaves of a tree lose water to the atmosphere via the process of transpiration. A particular tree loses water at the rate of 3 × 10-8 m3/s; this water is replenished by the upward flow of sap through vessels in the trunk. This tree’s trunk contains about 2000 vessels, each 100 μm in diameter. What is the speed of the sap flowing in the vessels?
The density of two liquids (A and B) is given as 180 kg/m3 and 70 kg/m3, respectively. The two liquids are mixed in a certain proportion and the density of the resulting liquid is 110 kg/m3. How much of liquid B (in grams) does 2 kg of the mixture contain? Assume the volume of the two liquids is additive when mixed.
