BIO Blood Speed in an Arteriole A typical arteriole has a diameter of 0.030 mm and carries blood at the rate of 5.5 × 10−6 cm3/s. (a) What is the speed of the blood in an arteriole? (b) Suppose an arteriole branches into 340 capillaries, each with a diameter of 4.0 × 10−6 m. 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.)
