Itīs known that blood pressure doesnīt drop too much along conducting vessels, but it does when fluid reaches arterioles due to the high resistance at that level.
On the other hand, the following formula states that increased resistance results in increased blood pressure, so that the blood flow remains constant:
Flow=Pressure/Resistance
Arenīt these statements contradictory?
Who can explain?Thank you
