Question
The flow rate of blood through a 1.75 ✕ 10−6 m radius capillary is 3.80 ✕ 10−9 cm3/s.
 
(a)What is the speed of the blood flow (in cm/s)? (This small velocity allows time for diffusion of materials to and from the blood.)
________ cm/s
 
(b)Assuming all the blood in the body passes through capillaries, how many of them must there be to carry a total flow of 96.0 cm3/s? (The large number obtained is an overestimate, but it is still reasonable.)
________ capillaries
