← ScienceWhich consequence arises when blood flow's Reynolds number exceeds 2000?
A)Laminar flow fully stabilizes
B)Increased risk thrombus formation✓
C)Decreased oxygen supply results
D)Reduced nutrient delivery occurs
💡 Explanation
Blood transitioning above a Reynolds number of 2000 shifts flow regimes. Turbulent flow disrupts stable blood layers causing endothelial damage because the mechanism *turbulent transition* occurs, therefore increasing thrombus rather than promoting laminar flow stability.
