Turbulence of blood flow increases when

A
Viscosity
B
Diameter of blood vessel |
C
Density |
D
Straight aeries
High-Yield Explanation
According to Reynold&;s equation: Re= rDV/eWhere Re is the Reynolds number, named for the man who described the relationship; r is the density of the fluid; D is the diameter of the tube under consideration; V is the velocity of the flow, and e is the viscosity of the fluid.The higher the value of Re, the greater the probability of turbulenceTherefore increase in diameter cause increase in Re and hence increase turbulenceRef: Ganong's Review of Medical Physiology Twenty-Third Edition Page No:540
