Variables Used
Difference in Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Difference in Pressure is the difference between the pressures.
Viscosity of Blood - (Measured in Pascal Second) - Viscosity of Blood is a measure of the resistance of blood to flow. It can also be described as the thickness and stickiness of blood.
Length of the Capillary Tube - (Measured in Meter) - Length of the Capillary Tube is the length of tube in which a liquid flows up into the tubes against gravity in a process called capillary action.
Blood Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The blood Flow involves a cyclic series of steps that move blood trough the heart and to the lungs to be oxygenated.
Radius of Artery - (Measured in Meter) - The radius of artery is the radius of the blood vessel involved in circulatory system.
