Chapter 20, Problem 15DYB
Summary Introduction

To describe:

The relationship of vessel radius, vessel length, blood viscosity and blood pressure to blood flow.

Concept introduction:

Resistance can be defined as the friction experienced by the blood as it is transported through the blood vessels. The total blood flow is always opposed by the resistance. The contact of blood to the blood vessel results in the generation of friction.
