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. :)
What three variables affect peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Resistance is determined by three properties: the lengthand cross-sectional area of a material, and its resistivity. Since resistivity is affected by temperature, you could say that temperature indirectly affects resistance.
What road tunnel has the largest cross-sectional opening in the world?
vagina Vazge Vazge
What are blood vessles called?
The tiny blood vessel is called as capillary. The diameter of the capillary is about 8 micrometer. They are present through out your body. They are present in your body in very large number. Together the cross sectional area of them all is about 2500 square cm.

Advantage of cross sectional study?

The velocity of blood flow is?
slowest in the capillaries because the total cross-sectional area is the greatest
How do you do a cross sectional area of a rectangle?
You cannot create a cross sectional area of a rectangle. You can only create cross sectional areas for triangular shapes.
Can veins store blood?
Cross sectional area of veins is four times that of arteries This large cross sectional area plus large degree of compliance (yielding to pressure) implies that large amounts of blood can be stored in the veins with only minimal increase in pressure.
What is the smallest blood vessel in the body?
Actually the smallest blood vessels are capillaries. These blood vessels are only about 1 cell thick and is where the gas and nutrient exchanges occur. It is also the cross-bridge between vein and arteries.
Can veins store excess blood?
Cross sectional area of veins is four times that of arteries This large cross sectional area plus large degree of compliance (yielding to pressure) implies that large amounts of blood can be stored in the veins with only minimal increase in pressure.
How do you calculate cross sectional area?
To calculate Cross Sectional Area: Width x Depth
