The velocity of blood flow is __________ through the capillaries than the blood flow through the aorta because the overall cross-sectional area of all capillaries is __________ in comparison to the aorta.

Respuesta :

Answer: Slower; larger

Explanation:

The velocity of the blood flowing in the blood capillaries is dependent on the pressure created due to the cross section of the capillaries.

The velocity of the blood flow in the capillaries is slower when compared to that of the aorta.

This is because the cross sectional area of the capillaries is larger as compared to that of aorta.
