There are two carotid arteries that feed blood to the brain, one on each side of the neck and head. One patient’s carotid arteries are each 11.2 cm long and have an inside diameter of 5.2 mm. Near the middle of the left artery, however, is a 2.0-cmlong stenosis, a section of the artery with a smaller diameter of 3.4 mm. For the same blood flow rate, what is the ratio of thepressure drop along the patient’s left carotid artery to the drop along his right artery?

- 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.
