What happens to the velocity of the blood flowing as it goes from the aorta to the capillaries?

Arteries have the highest blood pressure out of the three because arteries carry oxygen rich cells which then loses some of its pressure as it goes further away from the heart.
Where blood pressure is lowest would be from the capillaries to the veins because after all the rich oxygenated cells are taken out of the cell and replaced with waste and CO2, the blood pressure becomes much lower. (Also because it is further away from the heart.

∙ 14y agoI'm not quite sure what your question is, but there is a significant difference in the two. Blood pressure, the one that you're used to hearing (120/80) is the measured arterial blood pressure. The venous pressure is very low, compared to the arterial pressure because the blood passes through the arteries, into the capilaries, and is essentially sucked back to the heart.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoAt the post capillary venues, the blood pressure is about 16mmHg. It generally deceases as it move back to the heart. As it enters the right atrium is under no pressure.

Does velocity of blood decreases as blood flows from the aorta towards the capillaries?
Yes
What happens to the pulse pressure between the aorta and the capillaries?
it makes poo
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. :)
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 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
What blood vessel carries oxygen to every cell in your body?
Capillaries
As blood travels from the aorta toward the capillaries the?
The resistance will increase
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
