***MAY BE EXAM Q***
What is the equation for Resistance?
***Possible EXAM Q***
Resistance = Viscosity x length / radius4
Not as emphasized equation to remember:
- Total capillary blood flow
Flow = (initial pressure - final pressure) / Resistance

A. Resistance = length x radius / viscosity
B. Resistance = radius x viscosity / length
C. Resistance = viscosity x length / radius
D. None of the above
C. Resistance = viscosity x length / radius
