Where the velocity of blood flow is the lowest?
capillaries!
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 speed of blood flow in the capillaries change?
It is because the capillaries are conducting the gas exchange which will affect the rate of velocity
The velocity of blood flow is?
slowest in the capillaries because the total cross-sectional area is the greatest
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. :)
Do capillaries have valves to regulate blood flow?
Capillaries do not have valves to regulate blood flow. Veins are the vessel of the circulatory system that have veins to regulate blood flow.
Why does blood move faster through your capillaries?
Blood does not move faster through the capillaries. Blood flow is slowest in the capillaries.
Regulate blood flow to the capillaries?
albumin
Arterioles flow into what blood vessel?
Capillaries
Where does the blood flow when it leaves the capillaries?
venuoles
A vessel that carries blood from capillaries to a vein?
The capillaries flow from an artery to a vein.
From the capillaries blood flows into?
From the capillaries, blood will flow into the veins and pump the un-oxygenated blood back to the heart.
