The aorta is the principal blood vessel through which blood leaves the heart in order to circulate around the body. [a] Calculate the average speed of the blood in the aorta if the flow rate is 5.0 L/min. The aorta has a radius of 10 mm. Blood also flows through smaller blood vessels known as capillaries. When the rate of blood flow in the aorta is 5.0 L/min, the speed of blood in the capillaries is about 0.33 mm/s. Given that the average diameter of a capillary is 8.0 mm, calculate the number of capillaries in the blood circulatory system.
