It is a very good question to answer. Pressure in Aorta is 120 mm of Mercury and speed of blood flow is 50 cm/ second.Aheadis peripheral resistance of capillaries, which are smaller in diameter than R.B.Cs, flowing through it.(It's a fact.) As left ventricle contract blood ispumpedin the aorta, large and small arteries. Now aorta is thick and muscular and elastic and along with entire arterial system, it dilates. When left ventricle relaxes, aortic valve close down. Now this entire arterial system contracts and maintains the diastolic blood pressure. Peripheral resistance has very important role to play in this. So it takes kinetic energy in systole and gives away in diastole. So in diastole aortic system works as a 'Heart'. In comparison pressure is very low in inferior venacave. Go onmeasuringthe height of from feet to heart. This much is the pressure in inferior vena cave as you ascend in term of mm of 'water' at that particular height in verticle position.(Density of mercury is 13.6.) For superior vena cave blood 'falls down' and pressure may be zero to minus. So both vena cave have very large diameter together. 10 to 12 times that of aorta and they are very thin walled and almost nonelastic.

Relate the pressure of the holes to the ability of pumice to float in water?

Many specimens have a high enough porosity that they can float on water until ... This is what produces the enormous rush of high-pressure gas from the vent. ... has a specific gravity of less than one, giving the rock an ability to float on water.


How does the speed of sound relate to temperature elasticity and density?

The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.


How do ions and valence electrons relate?

Ions are formed by losing or gaining electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, which corresponds to the valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom that participate in chemical bonding, determining the atom's reactivity and ability to form ions.


Together the Coriolis Effect and differences in pressure and temperature relate to?

Together, the Coriolis effect, differences in pressure, and temperature are key drivers of atmospheric circulation patterns on Earth. The Coriolis effect causes winds to curve due to the Earth's rotation, while pressure and temperature differences create areas of high and low pressure, which in turn drive wind patterns around the globe. These factors interact to create complex weather systems and the global climate.

How does the pulsating blood pressure in the largest arteries relate to their structure?

It reveals their elasticity. When the heart contracts and forces blood into the large arteries near the heart, they stretch to accommodate the greater blood volume (systolic pressure). Then, as the blood continues on in the circuit, their walls recoil, keeping pressure on the blood which keeps it moving (diastolic pressure).
