Ron and Tiffany Are Studying Circulatory System Function -The Results Suggest That the Smallest Flow Volume Would Be

Multiple Choice

Ron and Tiffany are studying circulatory system function. They designed an experiment to test whether the diameter of a tube affects the rate of flow through the tube. In their experiment, they ran water from a large container through five tubes with different diameters for exactly 30 seconds for each tube. They measured the volume of liquid that passed through the tube during the 30-second period, testing each tube three times and pouring the water back into the container after each test. The results of the experiment are shown in the following table.
$\begin{array} { | l | l | l | } \hline& \text { Diameter of } &{ \text { Average Volume } } \\ & \text { Tube } ( \mathrm { cm } ) & \text { Fluid (mL) } \\\hline \text { Tube A } & 0.5 & 210 \\\hline \text { Tube B } & 0.6 & 350 \\\hline \text { Tube C } & 0.7 & 480 \\\hline \text { Tube D } & 0.8 & 600 \\\hline \text { Tube E } & 0.9 & 975 \\\hline\end{array}$
-The results suggest that the smallest flow volume would be found in the ________ of the human body.

A) arteries
B) veins
C) capillaries
D) arterioles
