b.radius, blood viscosity, length
c.flow,pressure,width

  #2

Answer b (Poiseuille's law)

Flow is proportional to the radius to the fourth power, so that is the most important variable.

  #3

agree B
radius is most imp

  #4

formulation:
R = 8(viscosity)(length)/pai x r to the 4th power.

The radius is the most important factor for the resistant.

  #5

yup B is the correct answer
