Fatty substance of the cardiovascular system?
cholesterol
What is a fatty deposit in an arterial wall called?
Such deposits are called atheromas. They mainly consist of calcified fat (cholesterol and fatty acids) and tissue. The build up of atheromas within the arterial walls is a sign of artheriosclerosis, a cardiovascular disease that causes the stiffening of arteries.
Why is eating fish good for your brain?
I don't really know. I think it really doesn't make you smart.
How does the lymphatic system work together with the circulatory system work toghether to fight infection?
Lymphatic SystemCardiovascular SystemBefore you can understand how the lymphatic and cardiovascular systems interact, you must first understand what each system does. The lymphatic system is a network of tubes that carry a substance called lymph. This white liquid has a variety of jobs including removing interstitial fluid (the plasma that leaks from the capillaries and deposits between cells), transporting important immune response cells and transporting fatty acids to the circulatory system. Interstitial FluidThe cardiovascular system is one of the most important systems in your body. This system consists of your heart and a series of blood vessels called veins, arteries and capillaries. The cardiovascular system works by pumping blood into the lungs, causing it to become oxygenated. The oxygen-rich blood is then transported throughout the body through a network of arteries. Off the arteries are smaller vessels called capillaries: These branch out to the individual cells of the body to give them access to nutrition and oxygen. The depleted blood is then returned to the heart through vessels called veins. The heart pumps the blood back into the lungs to restart the process. Fatty AcidsThe lymphatic system interacts with the lymphatic system mostly through the removal of interstitial fluid and fatty acids. When nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood reach the capillaries, the capillaries leak interstitial fluid into the tissue to feed the cells. Once the cells have gained what they need, the fluid must be removed from the cells and placed back into the circulatory system to be reused. This is done by the lymph system. The lymph draws the fluid from the cells and deposits it back into the blood in the veins.The other main way in which the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems interact is through the removal of fatty acids in the body. In the small intestine are small lymph vessels called lacteals. The lacteals absorb the fatty acids that do not get absorbed by the intestines. The lymph system then transports these fats from the digestive system, through the thoracic duct and into the circulatory system.
What activities can cause cardiovascular disease?
excessive smoking, alcoholism, not exercising, intake of fatty foods and caffeine
How does proper nutrition help the cardiovascular system?
Proper nutrition helps every system in body.Eating less fatty food causes amount of LDL to decrease in blood. That prevents formation of atherosclerosis/lipid thrombi.Eating antioxidants (which are abundant in fruits) helps body get rid of minor injury initiating agents which may further give way to cardiovascular-disease development.
What is axonal substance called?
Myelin is a fatty sheath around axons found in the peripheral nervous system.
What is cardiovascular health?
Cardiovascular health is the well-being of the heart and blood vessels. This includes the absence of factors which endanger cardiovascular health. eg. high cholesterol levels. Cardiovascular health has to do with the health of the heart and the circulatory system that carries blood to and from the heart. Cholesterol, triglycerides levels, homoscystiene levels, blood pressure, arteries-all play a part in cardiovascular health. Exercise and a heart-healthy diet help to maintain these normal heart functions. Targeted nutrition through omega 3 fatty acids, CoQ10, folic acid and phytosterols helps to support cardiovascular health.
What are omega 3 fatty acids good for?
Omega 3 fatty acids help prevent cardiovascular disease and can be used as treatment for developmental and psychiatric disorders. Some studies have shown also show that omega 3 fatty acids can reduce dementia.
What is coronary artery disease also known as?
Also called atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease is a build-up of fatty matter and debris on the walls of the arteries.
What is the production of a new fatty acid called?
Biosynthesis of fatty acid .
What is the function of the fatty layer in the integumentary system?
The purpose of the fatty layer is to insulate and protect your body.
