Which outcome results when blood flow in a constricted artery exceeds a critical Reynolds number?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence emerges when inertial forces overcome viscous forces, leading to a higher Reynolds number; therefore, flow transitions to turbulence rather than remaining laminar. The elevated number causes the flow, because this defines transition away from strictly viscous conditions.
