What tissues are affected in Atherosclerosis?
Atherosclerosis is a disorder that affects your heart and blood vessels that support it. Atherosclerosis is also known as the hardening of the arteries. The blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen throughout the body become much smaller than they were. This is body of fatty deposits that collect inside of the artery. This fatty deposit is also known as plaque. This fatty deposit, or plaque, will eventually build up and clog the artery so badly that it cuts off the entire blood supply.
What is the name of the soft fatty tissue in which blood cells are produced found in the cavities of bones?
Marrow
What is a nutritional monomer that can be transported in the blood?
Fatty Acid.
What is the word for fatty substance found the blood?
Cholesterol or lipoproteins.
What do Fatty deposits that restrict the flow of blood in the arteries best describes?
atherosclerosis
What body regions are impacted by fatty compounds in the blood vessels?
A collection of fatty deposits eventually affects blood vessels in the skin, heart, kidneys, and nervous system.
What blood vessel disease occurs when fatty deposits build up on the inner walls of the arteries?
arteriosclerosis
What is the name of the disease characterised by a build up of fatty deposits within the arteries?
Atherosclerosis
Why is an endarterectomy done?
Removing the fatty deposits restores normal blood flow to the part of the body supplied by the artery
What is the medical term meaning skin deposits of excess levels of blood cholesterol?
Atherosclerosis is the medical term for the accumulation of fatty deposits in the blood vessels. Atherosclerosis can lead to heart attacks and strokes if not treated properly because the vessels narrow and restrict the blood flow.
What circulatory system disease characterized by fatty deposits?
Atheroma (Atherosclerosis) is a generalised thickening of arteries due to fatty deposits
What is a buildup of fatty deposit within an artery?
The fatty material that deposits along the walls of the blood vessels is called plaque. Plaque makes it harder for blood to pass through the vessels.
What heart disease is the result of reduced blood flow to the heart caused by the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries?
Heart disease typically does not cause fatty deposits in the arteries. Rather the process is the other way around: an unhealthy diet high in fat and cholesterol causes a build up of fatty deposits, and these deposits lead to heart diseases such as Coronary Heart Disease.
What is the medical term meaning disease in which fatty deposits collect on the walls of the arteries?
Atherosclerosis is the condition in which fatty deposits collect on the walls of the arteries. These deposits may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.
How can junk food affect human bodies?
When you eat too much junk food, the extra fat that your body intakes is stored. This extra fat causes fatty deposits to form in blood vessels, making it harder for blood to flow. This then causes the heart to have to pump blood harder, putting stress onto the heart. If this is your regular diet, more and more fatty deposits will form in your blood vessels, raising the risk of heart failure.
What makes the heart not work?
There are a number of different illnesses which can affect the heart. The most usual problem is decreased blood flow to the heart, caused by blockage of blood vessels by fatty deposits.
