The mechanics of blood flow in the body follows the laws of fluid dynamics for tubes with a constant diameter and length. Which statement is correct?
The flow of fluid in a tube depends upon the absolute pressure at the beginning of the tube. The rate of fluid flow in a tube will decrease if the pressure at the beginning is increased while the pressure at the end of the tube stays the same. The greater the resistance to flow in a tube, the greater the rate of flow for any given pressure difference. If both the resistance and the pressure gradient in a tube increases, the fow must also increase. The rate of flow in a tube will decrease if the resistance to flow is increased.
