What is the difference between coronary arteries and arteries?
Arteriosclerosis is any hardening (stiffening) of artery walls. One of the ways this can happen is through atherosclerosis, which is when an atheroma (a build-up of dead RBCs, fibres and platelets) begins to accumulate within an artery wall and may stick out into the lumen or even break through the endothelium. This makes the artery less flexible.So someone with arteriosclerosis does not necessarily have atherosclerosis, but someone with atherosclerosis must have arteriosclerosis, as their arteries have hardened.
What is meant by atheromatous aorta?
As humans age, the walls of the blood vessel also grow a bit harder and stiffer, with less flexibility. One of the very common problems of arteriosclerosis is known as an atherosclerosis. In such a condition, the plaques collect in the arteries. A plaque is a hardened mass composed of dead cells, lipids, platelets, and fibrous tissue. The flow of blood can be blocked through the artery.

Heart Bypass Surgery Saves Lives?
Heart bypass surgery is a life-saving surgery for individuals that have suffered from a severe heart attack and suffer from arteries that have hardened due to arteriosclerosis and become too narrow to allow for proper blood flow. Basically this procedure takes veins or arteries from other locations in the individual's body, and grafts them to the needed coronary arteries. Usually this surgery will be performed while the patient's heart is stopped and so requires the use of a cardiopulmonary bypass, which is where the name of the surgery comes from.
What does atheromatous aortic knob means?
This means that your aorta, which is the largest artery in the body, has thickened and contains deposits of cholesterol on its linings. This is a normal process in aging, or if seen earlier, is due to cholesterol plaque deposition, also describe as Fatty deposits on the inner walls of the aorta, which is the largest artery of the body carrying blood away from the heart. This narrows the passageway, and can become mineralized and hardened, as in hardening of arteries, or arteriosclerosis.
What is the Medical term meaning hardening of a nerve?
Any hardening of the brain is called encephalosclerosis.If the hardening occurs in the cerebral hemispheres (as opposed to the rhombencephalon), it is called cerebrosclerosis. This is a morbid condition.The hardening of arteries within the brain is a form of arteriosclerosis, which in most cases is atherosclerosis. The buildup of hardened scar tissue within the brain can also be caused by the demyelinating autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis.
