Can anybody confirm this please?:oldconfused:

Yes that is what i meant. With the area i mean because al those vessels now have much more surface area for friction so this will lead to increase resistance and this increase resistance should lead to a big pressure drop. And even though the increased radius should have caused and decrease...

Thank you. Never thought about it from that perspective. So what you are saying is that the increase in radius does decrease the resistance(even thoug it is not as big a factor as in the arterial system, becouse the flow in the arterioles is not laminar). But at the same time you have a much...

What is the reason that the pressure drops in the central circulation?especially if you go from arteries to arterioles you get a huge pressure drop. If you look what is changing if you go from arteries to arterioles then it is that you get many many branches this leads to an increase of total...
