Veins are considered capacitance vessels because they collect 60-70% of the blood in systemic circulation. Small arteries and arterioles are considered resistance vessels because they represent where pressure is more greatly reduced.

Series of vessels?

A series of vessels typically refers to a connected sequence of structures that transport fluids or materials within a system. This can include blood vessels in the circulatory system, vessels in the lymphatic system, or vessels used in industrial processes like pipelines or plumbing. The vessels are designed to efficiently and effectively channel the flow of substances from one point to another.


What is the windkessel vessel?

The windkessel vessel is a model used in physiology to describe the buffering function of the arteries in dampening the pulsatile flow of blood from the heart, creating a more continuous flow in the circulation. It helps to reduce fluctuation in blood pressure, ensuring more consistent blood flow to the tissues.


Can a metallic sphere of radius 1 cm hold a charge of 1 coulomb?

Well I doubt it would be able to hold a charge of that density in air. When a sphere of radius 1cm is charged to such a high level, the electric field will be far larger than the dielectric strength of air. Hence, a breakdown voltage will be achieved and electrons will flow even through air. It's the same principle that lightning works on. 1 coulomb is a huge amount of charge, and the surface charge density in this case will be too high for air to take. So, a sphere of radius 1 cm cannot hold 1 Coulomb of charge.

What is the difference between capacitance and stray capacitance?

Capacitance is an ability to store an electric charge. "If we consider two same conductors as capacitor,the capacitance will be small even the conductors are close together for long time." this effect is called Stray Capacitance.

Definition of a capacitance in mosfet?

Capacitance in mosfet is of three types: gate capacitance diffusion capacitance routing capacitance Gate capacitance: limits the speed of the device t which it can be operated Diffusion capacitance: It is the capacitance due to charge carriers between drain and source. Routing capacitance: It is the capacitance of the metal which is deposited on the top of oxide layer.

Why transition capacitance called so?

Transition capacitance is the capacitance that is accumulated between two terminals as an electrical charge is carried between them. In a diode, this is the diffusion from anode to cathode of a diode in forward bias mode.
