Suppose your uncle has hypertension that causes the radii of his40,000,000 arterioles to decrease by 10 %. Eacharteriole initially was 0.010 mmmm in radiusand 1.0cm long.
Part A ) By what factor does theresistance RR = 8ηl/πr^4 to blood flow throughan arteriole change because of these decreased radii?
Part B ? The pressure drop across all of the arterioles isabout 60 mm Hg. If the flow rate remains thesame, what now is the pressure drop change across the arteriolepart of the circulatory system? Express your answer inmillimeters of mercury.
