in a way...not directly. it really has to do with blood. I know blood is viscous, so nonideal, and i'm wondering how bernoulli's equation does and does not apply. I think if i can understand the relationship between bernoulli's and viscous fluids, then i'll better understand the two concepts separately.

Bernoulli's Law is based on the conservation energy. In non-ideal fluids the friction is significant so that you can't use Bernoulli's Law (especially if the fluid is very viscous or if the diameter of the vessel is very narrow).
On the other hand Bernoulli's Law can be used qualitatively but not really quantitatively when you are asked about compressible fluids (gases).
It applies (since energy is conserved) but the math would be overly tedious because the density is not constant at different points, just know there is an inverse relationship between pressure and velocity.
