#1
In arteries flow directly proportional to radius to the 4th power (b/c of elasticity)

In veins flow is inversely proportional to the radius to the 4th power (b/c of compliance)


Are these statements true?

In a rigid pipe tube flow is DIRECTLY proportional to the radius to the 4th power (b/c of just becauseSmile
SO
In arteries flow DIRECTLY proportional to radius to the 4th power (b/c of just becauseSmile)

In veins flow is DIRECTLY proportional to the radius to the 4th power (b/c of just becauseSmile)

In any Rigid cylindrical tube flow is DIRECTLY proportional to the radius of the cylindrical tube raised to the 4th power

* just because means Hagen–Poiseuille
