The velocity and pressure of blood is slowest and lowest in the capillary beds. Which of the following is not an accurate description of the benefits of slow, low pressure blood in the capillary beds?
◦ Lower pressure on the venous end of the capillary bed allows for greater reabsorption of fluid back to the plasma.
◦ Lower pressure reduces the chance of injury to delicate capillary vessels.
◦ Lower pressure in the capillary bed helps to increase pressure in the venous circulation.
◦ Slower blood flow through capillaries allows more time for diffusion to take place in the capillary bed.
