Blood Speed in an Arteriole A typical arteriole has a diameter of 0.030 MM and carries blood at the rate of 5.5 x 10^-6 cm^3/s.
What is the speed of the blood in an arteriole?
(in cm)
Suppose an arteriole branches into 340 capillaries, each with a diameter of . What is the blood speed in the capillaries? (The low speed in capillaries is beneficial; it promotes the diffusion of materials to and from the blood.)
