Question
Chapter 36.4, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The blood vessel of a small diameter that branches out from the artery is known as arteriole. The muscular walls are present in arteriole that provides vascular resistance. The diameter of arteriole decrease with age.

- The lowest velocity of blood flow occurs in the capillaries. True As blood flows from the aorta through the other vessels, blood pressure increases. True Blood flow is at its highest velocity in the venae cavae. True Blood flows from an area of low pressure to an area of high pressure. False Blood flowing from one aorta into billions of capillaries decreases the velocity and pressure of the blood flow. True Blood flow velocity is inversely related to cross-sectional area. Truearrow_forwardAll correct about arterioles Except 0/1 one Play a major role in regulating local blood flow. Play a major role in regulating arterial blood pressure.
