Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: What do you think will happen to the flow rate if the radius is increased by 0.5 mm? Your answer : b. The flow rate will increase. Predict Question 2: Do you think a graph plotted with radius on the X-axis and flow rate on the Y-axis will be linear (a straight line)? Your answer : b. no Stop & Think Questions: What is the driving force for blood flow? You correctly answered: b. pressure gradient How does the body increase the blood vessel radius? Your answer : a. smooth muscle contraction Correct answer: c. smooth muscle relaxation Experiment Data: Flow (ml/min) 4.0 12.6 30.7 63.6 117.8 201.0 321.9 490.6 Radius (mm) 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 Viscosity 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 Length (mm) 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 Pressure (mm Hg) 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100
