In estimating pressure drops across the arterioles, assuming a specific number of arterioles with the same diameter and length: a. Assume that all arterioles have the same radius, but the length becomes 1.2 L (with equal probability throughout). To what factor will it change the overall resistance of the arteriole system? b. Assume that all arterioles have the same length, but the radii decreased to a factor of 0.8 r (with equal probability throughout). To what factor will it change the overall resistance of the arteriole system?

In one form of plethysmograph (a device for measuring volume), a rubber capillary tube with an inside diameter of 1.41 mm is filled with mercury at 20°C. The resistance of the mercury is measured with the aid of electrodes sealed into the ends of the tube. If 100.00 cm of the tube is wound in a spiral around a patient's upper arm, the blood flow during a heartbeat causes the arm to expand, stretching the tube to a length of 100.08 cm. From this observation, and assuming cylindrical symmetry, you can find the change in volume of the arm, which gives an indication of blood flow. Take PHg = 9.4 x 10-7. m.
