Capillaries are typically smaller than blood cells--about 5 μm in diameter. The pressure difference across the capillary is 0.7 kPa (measured for hamster skin) . If capillaries are ~1 mm long, how fast does the blood flow through, assuming it has the viscosity of water? How long therefore is a red cell in a typical capillary?
