Which outcome occurs when blood flow transitions through a stenosis, exceeding a threshold Reynolds number?

A)Decreased laminar flow resistance
B)Accelerated red blood cell production
C)Initiation of turbulent flow
D)Increased vessel wall elasticity

💡 Explanation

A higher Reynolds number indicates inertial forces dominate, therefore exceeding the threshold causes transition to turbulence, rather than laminar flow, because laminar flow demands viscous forces prevail; turbulent flow is indicated, not RBC change.
