When an artery is narrowed by plaque deposits, how do blood speed and blood pressure change in the narrowed region?
Correct answer C. Speed increases and pressure decreases
Explanation
By continuity, blood speeds up through the smaller cross-section. By Bernoulli's effect the pressure there drops, which can let the outside tissue pressure partially close the artery and cause a fluttering sound.
