Which characteristics of capillaries cause restriction of blood flow? high blood pressure small diameters thin walls short lengths

OpenStudy (blues):

Think about how much pressure you need to force, let's say, 100 mL of fluid through a pipe with a big diameter. Not a lot. The fluid flows through freely. Now think about how much pressure you need to force the same amount of fluid through a very narrow pipe in the same amount of time - a lot.
