← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when blood flow exceeds Reynolds number?
A)Loss of laminar flow occurs✓
B)Viscosity of blood temporarily drops
C)Erythrocyte sedimentation rate decreases
D)Increased oxygen diffusion to tissues
💡 Explanation
When blood flow exceeds a critical Reynolds number, laminar flow transitions to turbulent flow; this happens because inertial forces overwhelm stabilizing viscous forces. Therefore, turbulence increases, rather than options depicting stabilized or enhanced laminar flow.
