The aorta pumps blood away from the heart at about 40 cm/s and has a radius of about 1.0 cm. It then branches into many capillaries, each with a radius of about 5 x 10−4 cm carrying blood at a speed of 0.10 cm/s. How many capillaries are there?

n = 1.6*10^9 capillaries

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of capillaries, you take into account that the following relation must be accomplished:

              (1)

A1: area of the aorta

v1: speed of the blood in the aorta = 40cm/s

n: number of capillaries = ?

A2: area of each capillary

v2: speed of the blood in each capillary

For the calculation of A1 and A2 you use the formula for the cross sectional area of a cylinder, that is, the area of a circle:

Where you have used the values of the radius for the aorta and the capillaries.

Next, you solve the equation (1) for n, and replace the values of all parameters:

Then, the number of capillaries is 1.6*10^9

answer: the direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from which the wind is blowing. for example, easterly winds blow from east to west, while westerly winds blow from west to east.
