A reasonable value for the (circular] diameter of the aorta in a healthy adult is D, 4.0 cm. The blood in the aorta moves with an average (uniform] speed v, 30 ca/s. The blood flowing through the aorta passes through capillaries spread throughout the tissues in the body and then is recirculated. The typical diameter of one of these capillaries is D. 4.0 um = 4.0 x 10- , and the blood flows at approximately 1.0mm/s.
