← ScienceWhich 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.
