← ScienceWhich behavior change occurs when blood's Reynolds number greatly increases?
A)Laminar flow becomes turbulent✓
B)Red blood cell aggregation decreases
C)Blood viscosity exponentially decreases
D)Vessel compliance starts linearly increasing
💡 Explanation
Increased Reynolds number signifies increased inertial forces within the blood flow; therefore, laminar flow transitions to turbulent flow because inertial forces dominate over viscous forces, rather than blood becoming less viscous.
