Problem 35PE
The arterioles (small arteries) leading to an organ, constrict in order to decrease flow to the organ. To shut down an organ, blood flow is reduced naturally to 1.00% of its original value. By what factor did the radii of the arterioles constrict? Penguins do this when they stand on ice to reduce the blood flow to their feet.

By what factor did the radii of the arterioles constrict? Penguins do this when they stand on ice to reduce the blood flow to their feet.
ANSWER:
Solution 35PE
Step 1 of 3
Here we need to calculate the factor by which the radii of the arterioles constrict, so that the blood flow rate is reduced to 1% of its original value.
