The velocity of the blood in the aorta is about 0.5 m/s, and the velocity of the blood in a capillary is about 0.001 m/s. We have only one aorta, with a diameter of 20 mm, but many capillaries in parallel, each with a diameter of 8 μm. Using vascular resistance approach estimate how many capillaries are typically open at any one time.
The human circulation system has approximately 1X109 capillary vessels. Each vessel hasa diameter of about 8μm. Assuming cardiac output is 5L/min, determine the averagevelocity of blood flow through each capillary vessel.
The approximate inside diameter of the aorta is 0.49 cm; that of a capillary is 12 μm. The approximate average blood flow speed is 1.0 m/s in the aorta and 1.0 cm/s in the capillaries. If all the blood in the aorta eventually flows through the capillaries, estimate the number of capillaries in the circulatory system. capillaries
