The tendency for blood flow to be turbulent increases when there is a decrease in blood A. Vessel diameter. B. Density. C. Flow velocity. D. Viscosity. E. Haemoglobin level.

Answer»

A. False The tendency is directly proportional to vessel diameter. 

B. False The tendency is directly proportional to fluid density. 

C. False The tendency is directly proportional to velocity. 

D. True The tendency is inversely proportional to viscosity. 

E. True In anaemia, the increase in velocity and decrease in viscosity of blood in the hyperdynamic circulation promote turbulence; bruits may be heard over peripheral arteries.
