(a) As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed increases by a factor of 2.22 and the total cross-sectional area of the venules is 10.7 cm2, what is the total cross-sectional area (in cm²) of the capillaries feeding these venules? cm² (b) How many capillaries are involved if their average diameter is 10.4 µm? capillaries
