What is the real explanation why the pressure dicreases when you go through the central circulation?
For example: the pressure in proximal part of aorta is higher than distal part becouse if you use the formula:R=
eeta:x L)/(r^4) the L increases so R also increases(resistance). And if you then use the formula of Q=deltaP/R, becouse the Q is constant, if the R increases delta P must also increaes.
So this means you get a bigger pressure drop that's why the pressure at the beginning is higher than at the end.
But if I try to use this logic to explain why the pressure dicreases if you go from the arteries to the arterioles then it doesn't work out.
Becouse the total radius increases if you go from the arteries to the arterioles.
So if you take that segment and use the formula of resistance, becouse the radius increases the resistance should decrease then you should get an decrease in delta P. So the pressure drop should be lower and not higher.
I know this can't be true but what goes wrong and how should it be done is what I try to understand.
