Regarding pressures, which is FALSE?

• A. lateral (static) pressure is reduced but prolonged by elastic arteries
• B. static pressure increases with gravitation (hydrostatic) pressure increases
• C. static pressure does not include kinetic energy
• D. greater resistance to flow through a segment of circulation leads to greater loss of energy through that segment
• E. kinetic energy becomes more significant in a narrowed segment and converts back to potential energy when the tube widens
