The aorta branches into up to 30-40 billion capillary vessels, 8-10 billion of which are used effectively. As a consequence the cross-sectional area increases by a factor of 800. If we start from the assumption that there are 9 billion capillary vessels (all of which are equally thick) – how does the resistor change from the aorta to the (parallel) capillary vessels?
Anyone please? :)
