Vascular resistance
A In series Different
categories of vessels Arteries
arterioles capillaries venules

More resistance in series the
greater total resistance
B In parallel Within a vascular bed similar categories
of vessels are arranged in parallel
More resistance in parallel LESS TOTAL resistance
