Understanding Blood Vessel Resistance

What is the resistance value assigned to the longish blood vessel?

• 10

• 3

• 8

• 5

How many branches does the blood vessel have?

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four

What is the resistance of the tiny branch in the middle?

• 10

• 8

• 3

• 5

How is the total resistance for the parallel section calculated?

• Using the reciprocal formula

• By subtracting the smallest resistance

• By multiplying all resistances

• By adding all resistances

What is the total resistance of the parallel section?

• 10

• 5

• 2

• 8

What is the resistance value of the short vessel at the end?

• 5

• 8

• 10

• 3

What is the total resistance of the series section?

• 8

• 13

• 10

• 3

What is the overall total resistance of the blood vessel system?

• 8

• 15

• 10

• 13

Why is the total resistance in parallel less than any individual component?

• Because of the series connection

• Because resistances add up

• Because of the reciprocal nature of the formula

• Because of the subtraction of resistances

What does the video suggest about the complexity of the human body's blood vessel system?

• It has no vessels

• It has thousands of vessels

• It has only a few vessels

• It has a single vessel
