The velocity of blood is the maximum in
-
large veins
-
small veins
-
venules
-
capillaries
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Velocity (V) is proportionate to flow (Q) divided by the area of conduit (A).
Therefore, the average velocity of the blood is high in the aorta, declines steadily in the smaller vessels and is the lowest in the capillaries, which have 1000 times the total cross-sectional area of aorta.
