When is the speed of blood slowest in blood vessels?
Veins are where the blood flow is the slowest. Blood flow velocity decreases from the aorta to the arteries to capillaries.
Why does blood pressure in aorta decrease further form heart?
As the blood moves through the aorta, the friction of the walls of the aorta decreases velocity. This velocity decrease results in a decrease in pressure.
What is the relationship between cross sectional area of blood vessel and velocity of blood flow in that vessel?
Proceeding downstream from the aorta, branching of arterial vessels increases total cross-sectional area and thus results in diminished velocity of blood flow from the aorta to the capillaries. Velocity increases from the capillaries to the large veins with the confluence of vessels and the resulting decrease in total cross-sectional area. :)
Which three blood vessels carries blood at the highest pressure?
Blood pressure is highest at the Aorta. BP progressively decreases as it enters arterioles, capillaries, venules, then increases upon reaching the vena cavae. So basically it's the Aorta, and the Inferior and Superior Vena Cava.
What happens to the pulse pressure between the aorta and the capillaries?
it makes poo
What are the main organs of the heart?
i think arteries, capillaries, aorta just guessing
What is the tube called that the blood travels through?
Can be veins, can be arteries, can be capillaries, can be the aorta..
Is Blood pressure highest in the aorta and lowest in the capillaries?
superior vena cava
As blood travels from the aorta toward the capillaries the?
The resistance will increase
What blood vessel carries oxygen to every cell in your body?
Capillaries
Where does blood flow most slowly?
Blood flows the fastest as it exits the heart into the Aorta.
The velocity of blood flow is highest in the?
Pulmonary Vein
