← ScienceWhich outcome develops from increasing Reynolds number in an artery?
A)Reduced vessel wall shear stress
B)Onset of turbulent blood flow✓
C)Lower resistance blood flow
D)Increased laminar flow stability
💡 Explanation
Increasing Reynolds number signifies that inertial forces dominate viscous forces, creating turbulence. The increased inertia overcomes viscous damping because unstable flow occurs rather than resistance or laminar flow, factors linked to low Reynolds number conditions.
