Question 5 (1 point) In the human body an artery branches off to flow through the hepatic artery, spleen, small and larges bowels as shown in the figure. These recombine to flow through the liver before travelling back to the heart and lungs. If the blood flow rate is given as 2.36 x 10-5 m³/s and the resistance to flow is given for each component in the figure. Body Heart/ Lungs RE_Liver = 4.1 x107 Pas/m³ Liver HA HA: Hepatic artery R₁ = 2.2 x10⁹ Pas/m³ SP SP: Spleen R₁ = 1.3 x10⁹ Pas/m³ SB SB: Small Bowel R₁ 1.2 x10⁹ Pas/m³ LB: Large Bowel R₁ = 3.7 x10⁹ Pas/m³ Calculate the pressure drop across the spleen.
