How would deposits on the walls of arteries affect the flow of blood moving through the body?

As plaque deposits grow, a condition called atherosclerosis results. This condition causes the arteries to narrow and harden. Arterial plaque can reduce blood flow or, in some instances, block the artery. Clogged arteries greatly increase the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, and even death.

How would depoits on the walls of arteries effect the flow of blood moving through the body?
Assuming depoits is deposits, if there are "deposits" in the arteries, it restricts the flow and depending on how thick the deposit is, very little blood gets through. Imagine a fireman using the usual hose to kill a fire. Then imagine that he replaces that hose with a garden, say about 5/8 thich. The same water pressure and the same amount of water is still there but very little water gets through. Same with deposits. The chamber is smaller. Now you have all kinds of problems, not to mention high blood pressure, poor circulation, etc., etc., etc., etc.
Do arteries contain more oxygen or carbon dioxide than veins?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood into the heart. Blood moving from the heart to the lungs through the pulmonary artery has less oxygen than blood moving from the lungs to the heart through the pulmonary vein, but most arteries carry oxygen-rich blood with little carbon dioxide, and most veins carry deoxygenated blood with carbon dioxide and other wastes.
Why do you think the heart needs the coronary arteries to supply it with blood when blood is always flowing through the heart's chambers?
The chambers of the heart function as a pump; they do not utilize the blood that passes through because it is moving far too quickly and turbulently. Blood must run through capillaries at lower speeds/volumes in order to be used by cells. The coronary arteries branch repeatedly to produce a vast network of capillaries that supply the cardiac muscle cells.
What do arteries contain that prevent the back flow of blood?
Nothing, it is only pressure that keeps blood moving in the right direction in arteries. Veins have valves that prevent backflow of blood, but arteries do not.

What keeps blood moving in a circuit through the body even when the pressure is relatively low?
your heart is a pump and keeps the blood flowing
Are graded deposits sorted deposits?
Graded deposits have been sorted by size, usually by deposition from moving water.
What would you see if you could watch your blood travel through your body?
You would see opening and shutting arteries and pumping moving blood

What medium can affect the message of a news story by providing it with context through moving images?

Placer deposits form when?
Heavy eroded particles settle out of moving water
What is the moving cylinder of a auto engine?
I think it is the thing that deposits oil (gas) into the motor
What kind of rock is formed from the soil deposits made from moving water?
Sedimentary rock.
Why are valves present in veins but now in arteries?
valves are only present in veins to stop the blood to move backwards through the vein but in arteries the muscle puts alot of pressure on the blood which stops it from moving in the wrong direction
Why are dense minerals more likely to form placer deposits than less minerals are?
placer deposits from where water is moving fast enough to move lighter materials.
