Bifurcation-dependent generation of turbulent flow. A) Blood flow into a bifurcation divides blood flow into two daughter arteries; this division also generates turbulent blood flow, or eddy currents that impacts on the arterial wall. B) Blood flow into a bifurcation and resultant turbulent blood flow impaction deposits ENM on the arterial wall.
