Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Where flow is obstructed,the vessel turns or blood flows over rough surfaces.The flow becomes turbulent with whorls or eddy currents that produce noise,causing a murmur to be heard on auscultation,such as occurs during blood pressure measurement with a sphygomanometer.This selection is the only option that accurately identifies the physical sign of turbulent vascular blood flow.
