Summary Introduction

To write:

The factors that affect the resistance in the vasculature and also describe how resistance affects the blood flow.

Introduction:

The blood flow within blood vessels is directly proportional to the pressure gradient and is inversely proportional to the resistance within the blood vessel (Flow=△P/RA). The flow of the blood through the pulmonary circuit is proportional to that through the systemic circuit (5 liters/minute). Resistance in the vasculature depends on the few factors like the radius and length of the vessels and viscosity of the blood.
