What is the relationship between blood vessel length and blood flow?
elena55 [62]

The  length of a vessel  is directly proportional to its resistance: the longer the veessel, the greater the resistance and the lower the flow. As with blood volume, this makes intuitive sense, since the increased surface area of the  vessel  will impede the flow of blood.
