How would deposits on the walls of arteries affect the flow of blood moving through the body?
ANSWER:The clogging of the arteries is caused by several factors related to coronary artery disease when fatty deposits of cholesterol and other substances stick to the arterial walls and create plaque. In response to plaque build-up, cells in your artery walls multiply and secrete additional substances that can worsen the state of clogged arteries. 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.
