  • Abstract
    Poiseuille´s law relates the flow rate with the pressure, viscosity, vessel radius and length. For the purposes of this exhibit, we will assume that the vessel in consideration is a small artery or an arteriole. Specifically, the complete circulatory system has a mean pressure drop of approximately 98 mmHg and the arterioles comprise 50% of this decrease. Using the mean velocity, blood pressure gradient can be expressed in terms of the velocity of the arteriole flow. Based on Poiseuille´s law, this paper presented how the blood flow depends on the pressure and diameter of arteriole.
