Atherosclerosis, which is a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries of the body affects all of the arteries in the body. The end result of long-term buildup of these deposits are usually seen first in the nervous system (stroke), heart (heart attack) and legs (claudication).
Specifically, in the heart, buildup of fatty plaques causes narrowing of the lumen of the coronary arteries. Over time, this narrowing may get so severe that it reduces the amount of blood that can get through to the heart muscle supplied by that artery. This causes anginal symptoms, typically, but not heart attacks. Heart attacks are caused by a rupture of the fatty plaque, which results in clot formation in the vessel, stopping all blood flow to the heart muscle.
They slow down the heart rate and youll be able to not breathe anymore....
It makes it have to pump harder to get the blood to flow.
blood pressure will increase resulting in hypertension, or blood may not reach to the specific sites due to clogging resulting in severe problems and diseases.
The narrowing of arteries would cause the heart to pump harder in order to force the blood through the smaller openings. this would eventually weaken the heart.
the capillaries are the most common blood vessel in the human body.
the main blood vessel in the body
The Blood Vessel Carries Useful Materials To The Cells And Tissues Of The Body.
A blood vessel's radius has a larger effect on the body than the vessels length because more blood can flow through a larger blood vessel. A change in the radius will have more of a affect.
Carrys Blood Through The Body
The aorta is the major blood vessel which transports blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Capillary
aorta
A blood vessel is a tube shaped organ that carries blood. It carries the blood through the tissues and organs of the human body.
They help in blood transport throughout the body
The Aorta pumps blood from the heart to the body.
A major blood vessel in the human body.
