Which consequence arises when blood flow's Reynolds number exceeds 2000?

💡 Explanation

Blood transitioning above a Reynolds number of 2000 shifts flow regimes. Turbulent flow disrupts stable blood layers causing endothelial damage because the mechanism *turbulent transition* occurs, therefore increasing thrombus rather than promoting laminar flow stability.
