They get a build up of sludge on the inside walls whic restrict the flow of blood. in extreme situations some of this stuf can come loose causing the blood to be cut of entirely. This can lead to Heart attacs strokes Thrombosis leading to the los of limbs and organs.
Yes. If you become too obese, fat (specifically, cholesterol) clogs your arteries, preventing blood flow throughout the body, causing a heart attack.
Yes, and major as well.
Ans: Cholesterol is made by the liver to promote cellular health, it can be of various sizes, the small ones can get stuck in the walls of blood veins thereby in conjunction with a pathogen create an inflamation...after which can scab so to speak. If the scab breaks away it can block blood flow in the heart...causing lack of oxygen to heart muscle cells and subsequent heart attack.....also can cause stroke too. If I am not mistaken cholesterol is not water soluble and needs a protein(LDL) to carry it in the blood....and a protein(HDL) to carry it back to the liver for recycling. Much of the brain mass is white matter(cholesterol). There is a significant difference between dietary and serum cholesterol. eg. eggs are downplayed(now) as an influence in serum problems.
There is no such thing. If there was, I would imagine that it would do much the same thing as the aorta does, which is move blood from the heart to the other arteries which then split out into the body. In mammal development, there is a right aortic arch - six of them, and six on the left too - which develop into several major arteries.
It is actually pretty serious if you continue to let it grow. you should go to the doctor for a check upANSWER:Inflated arteries (as opposed to Blocked or Collapsed Arteries) are call [Forgot for a moment] but are extremely dangerous since the artery is pumping more and more blood to the same artery - building up pressure - and if it expands too much then it will burst or start bleeding out. This is extremely life threatening - if the artery is the one coming from the heart - since if they burst you will bleed to death in minutes.If it happens in a non-major artery it is not life threatening immediately, but should seek help asap.
yes
Yes, too much cholesterol will clog them.
cholesterol
No. Clogged arteries are caused by too much 'bad' cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood...nothing to do with cornstarch.
because it clogs your arteries. it can make your heart stop giving you a heart attack.
A major reason for wanting to lower your blood cholesterol is to stop it from clogging your arteries. Clogged arteries can lead to health problems and heart problems.
Without cholesterol, your body wouldn't work - it's vital to ensure the body's normal function. Too much cholesterol increases heart disease and disease of the arteries.
Cholesterol is either absorbed from food or made in the body. This synthesis can take place in most cells in the body including the cells of the heart, however cholesterol does not only come from the heart. Cholesterol can lead to clogging of arteries around the heart leading to heart problems.
The body does not make enough cholesterol.
Too little cholesterol level IS dangerous in its effect on hormone secretions.
The way to overcome poor circulation in the human body is to find out what is causing it. Frequently, it can be overcome by a mixture of diet and exercise. Clean up your cholesterol. Your body stores excess cholesterol in your arteries where it can use it at a moments notice. Your body uses cholesterol to take fat from a fat cell to a muscle cell any time the muscle cell needs energy. If your arteries have too much cholesterol, you clog your arteries. Your body uses cholesterol to digest fat. It recycles cholesterol through the small intestine. Cholesterol can not tell if it is attaching itself to a molecule of fat or a piece of oatmeal. Eat a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast instead of two bacon strips. The cholesterol will flush out your system instead of clogging your arteries. Walk more. The walking will call your reserves of cholesterol from your arteries to use your fat in your muscles. Cook with mono or poly unsaturated oil. That makes your body produce more good cholesterol and less bad cholesterol.
Too much fat in your diet puts you at risk for Obesity,Coronary Artery Disease ,High Cholesterol, Myocardial Infarction and Hypertension.
