Why would blood vessel radius have a larger effect on the body than vessel length?

A blood vessel's radius has a larger effect on the body than the vessels length because more blood can flow through a larger blood vessel. A change in the radius will have more of a affect.

What is the affect on blood flow on the radius vessels?
The relationship between blood flow through a vessel and the radius of the vessel can be expressed as BF=1/pi r4 (where pi is equal to 3.14.....). So a change in the radius of a vessel has a large effect on the blood flow through the vessel.
Which of the following is NOT an important source of resistance to blood flow?
Total Blood Volume "There are three important sources of resistance: blood viscosity, vessel length, and vessel diameter." - Anatomy & Physiology 4E Marieb/Hoehn page 612.
What is an eye vessel?
its a vessel in your eye. its a vessel in your eye.
In angiosperms xylem consists of tracheids and?

A stroke is a rupture of a blood vessel in the?
A stroke is a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain.
What is the effect that radius changes have on the laminar flow of a fluid?
Laminar flow is the free-flowing blood in the middle of the vessel. Therefore, larger the radius of vessel, more the laminar flow. Smaller the radius of vessel, lesss the laminar flow. Laminar flow is directly reltated to the radius of a vessel.
What is vessel turning radius?
The turning radius of a vessel is a mathematical computation used to determine the turning circle of the vessel during anchoring in order to check if the anchor is dragging. It can be computed by adding the length of the anchor chain to the overall length of the vessel and subtracting the length between bridge and aft.
Why is blood vessel radius more likely to change than blood vessel length?
Radius. Length only changes with weight loss, gain or while one is growing. (from infancy to adult)
What is the affect on blood flow on the radius vessels?
The relationship between blood flow through a vessel and the radius of the vessel can be expressed as BF=1/pi r4 (where pi is equal to 3.14.....). So a change in the radius of a vessel has a large effect on the blood flow through the vessel.
What is the effect of increased vessel length on blood flow?
The longer the vessel is the more friction it applies on the passing blood, the less the blood flow is.
What Two major factors affecting blood flow rates?
They include the radius of the blood vessel, the length of the system, and the viscosity of the blood.
What happened to the rate as the right vessel radius was increased?
Physio Ex Answer: When the right vessel radius was increased the flow rate increases.
Which is more likely to occur a change in blood vessel radius or a change in blood vessel length?
Use the analogy of a hose. When the pressure is high a small bore hose will act to limit the flow but at a lower pressure the radius is hardly a factor. So arteries which have a much higher pressure are more affected by radius than lower pressure than the low pressure venous system.
What is the block coefficient of a boat?
It is a ratio obtained by dividing the volume of the hull of the vessel by the volume of a block having the same length, width and height as the vessel's length, beam and depth. It is used to infer how "streamlined" a vessel is. An oil tanker would normally have a larger block coefficient than a container ship.
What factors influences resistance to blood flow in the arteries?
resistance occurs as the blood flows away from heart through the vessels in the peripheral systemic circulation a term known as peripheral resistance. Viscosity of the blood (thickness) ,vessel length (distance) and vessel diameter (blood vessel radius) are three factors
How calculate radius of dish end size from pressure vessel diameter?
Calculating the radius of dish end size from the pressure vessel diameter is easy. All you have to do is add the blank radius by scaling the drawing from the side and you add five percent.
What is the meaning of 'larger than a sail'?
This means a larger vessel than a sailboat.
