Well that's a new perspective to me. Yes, I am not really a physics student, I'm a pure physiology student, so that's why I am quite unfamiliar with this. Thanks a lot to both of you :)
Well can you explain how friction reduces blood pressure? I mean, axial friction can only slow down the blood, which would locally increase blood pressure. Blood velocity is slower in the capillaries than the arteries, yet the pressure is lower. Blood velocity is faster in the veins than...
Hello everybody. I have seen many people asking questions on this forum about the reason to why blood pressure drops as you get farther from the heart.
But honestly, not a single answer satisfied me. My major is physiology, so it's quite funny that I still don't know this "trivial" detail. What...
