In estimating pressure drops across the arterioles, assuming a specific number of arterioles with the same diameter and length:a. Assume that all arterioles have the same radius, but the length becomes 1.2 L (with equal probability throughout). To what factor will it change the overall resistance of the arteriole system?
b. Assume that all arterioles have the same length, but the radii decreased to a factor of 0.8 r (with equal probability throughout). To what factor will it change the overall resistance of the arteriole system?
