Why does blood flow slowly in capillaries?
Because they have a larger surface area than the other blood vessels.
What type of vessel would you expect the blood to flow more slowly in?
aorta
Where does blood flow most slowly?
Blood flows most slowly in capillaries, as their small diameter and large total cross-sectional area create high resistance to blood flow. This slow flow allows for efficient exchange of nutrients, gases, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissue.
What affects the flow of blood through the heart?
things that could affect the blood flow through the heart
What prevents blood in the cardiovascular system from going backward?
blood flows into the veins quiet slowly as they are much wider compared to the flow of blood in the arteries which are rather narrow.because of the low pressure of blood on the flow inside the veins there are great possibilities that the blood is likely to flow backwards which may cause complications in the flow of blood.to prevent this from happening the veins contain valves that stop the back flow of blood
Why is it not a good thing to land on your hands when you fall backwards?

ischemic stroke
Would skeletal muscles experience a decreased blood flow during exercise?
I could be wrong but, I think it would decrease your blood flow
How the human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure?
The human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure by setting the pace at which it beats and maintains blood flow. When a heart rate increases, blood pressure will rise, and when a heart rate decreases, blood pressure will drop.
Do humans heart rates increase as they get older?
as the body's systems get older, they require more blood flow to operate, thus causing increased heart rate
What is the pill labeled mylan 186?
clonidine, blood pressure med.Mylan 186 is Clonidine 0.2 mg. The medicine is used to treat hypertension. It affects the level of certain chemicals in the brain and in this way allows vessels to relax, so that blood could flow more easily and heart could beat more slowly.
