Breckler, Jennifer L.; Christensen, Tina; Sun, Wendy – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2013
Biology students enrolled in a typical undergraduate physiology course encounter Poiseuille's law, a physics equation that describes the properties governing the flow of blood through the circulation. According to the equation, a small change in vessel radius has an exponential effect on resistance, resulting in a larger than expected change in…
