← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when blood flow transitions to turbulence?
A)Increased endothelium shear stress✓
B)Decreased oxygen diffusion rate
C)Laminar flow profile restoration
D)Reduced arterial pressure pulsation
💡 Explanation
Elevated Reynolds number triggers turbulence, hence increased endothelium stress because frictional forces intensify. Flow destabilization is therefore endothelium damage, rather than oxygen decrease which would require an additional factor or the reverse transitioning to laminar flow.
