1. The document summarizes a student's results from a lab experiment studying the effect of blood vessel radius on blood flow rate. 2. The student correctly answered most pre-lab quiz questions and predicted that increasing radius would increase flow rate and that a graph of radius vs. flow rate would not be linear. 3. Experiment data showed a direct relationship between radius and flow rate, with flow rate increasing significantly as radius increased from 1.5 to 5 mm.

Review Sheet Results


1. Explain how the body establishes a pressure gradient for fluid flow.
Your answer:
By determing the amount of blood in a certain place of the body
2. Explain the effect that the flow tube radius change had on flow rate. How well did the results compare with your
prediction?
Your answer:
The bigger the radius the faster the flow rate. my prediction was correct
3. Describe the effect that radius changes have on the laminar flow of a fluid.
Your answer:
An increased radius increases the laminar flow and vice versa
4. Why do you think the plot was not linear? (Hint: look at the relationship of the variables in the equation). How well did the
results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
The plot was not linear because the radius is raised to power of 4 in the equation. my prediction was correct.
