Is this due to increased frictional resistance which decreases the velocity of the blood? You would think using Bernoulli's principle that the velocity of blood in the capillaries would increase due to the decrease in pressure but the inverse is true.

How does blood pressure substantially drop in the capillaries and arterioles?

Is this due to increased frictional resistance which decreases the velocity of the blood?
