Description This activity explores some of the factors that affect blood flow in branching vessels and is designed for AP Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Physics. You may want to do this as activity as a series of labs or you can assign the problems to different groups. After conducting this lab myself, I suggest that you practice it yourself before doing it in class. Be sure that your tubing and funnel fit snugly. Also, make sure that your clamps and Y-connectors fit snugly with the tubing as well.
