Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question: What effect do you think increasing the flow tube length will have on the fluid flow rate?
Your answer : c. The fluid flow rate will decrease.
Stop & Think Questions:
What is the relationship between fluid flow and flow tube length?
You correctly answered: b. They are inversely proportional to each other.
Which is more likely to occur on a daily basis?
You correctly answered: b. changes in blood vessel diameter

2. Explain the effect that the change in blood vessel length had on flow rate. How well did the results compare with your
prediction?
Your answer:
El cambio en la longitud del vaso sanguineo es inversamente proporcional al flujo sanguineo.
3. Explain why you think blood vessel radius can have a larger effect on the body than changes in blood vessel length (use
the blood flow equation).
Your answer:
el radio tienen un efecto mayor que la longitud sobre el flujo sanguineo ya que el flujo de la sangre es proporcional al radio
a la potencia de cuatro, mientras que la longitud tiene un efecto casi constante.
4. Describe the effect that obesity would have on blood flow and why.
Your answer:
la obesidad en las personas hace que disminuya el fjulo sanguineo debido a que aumenta la longitud de los vasos para
alimentar los tejidos adiposos.
