Is intestinal ischemia inheritable?
Intestinal ischemia is indirectly due to heredity. The condition is caused by the narrowing or blocking of an artery, and one of the reasons this may happen is due to cholesterol buildup. Since high cholesterol is at least partly due to heredity, intestinal ischemia can be thought of as inheritable.
What do you call the largest blood vessel attached to the heart?
aorta.this is a artery.the blockage of artery due to cholesterol may lead to heart attack.this is the largest artery which supplies the purified blood to the whole body with the help of secondary arteries and capillaries

What is arterial schlerosis?
A hardening of the arteries due to build up of atheroma which is a name body fat that has been sequestered into your artery wall
What substance associated with animal fat is responsible for the narrowing of arteries?
Cholesterol is the substance associated with animal fat that causes atherosclerosis(the narrowing, or hardening, of arteries due to plaque that is formed from cholesterol build up in coronary arteries).
Fatty deposit on the walls of arteries?
A substance called plaque can build up on the inner walls of the artery causing blockage that does not allow blood to flow through easily. Plaque consists of a variety of substances, including calcium, fat, cholesterol and cellular waste.

What is a potential danger of excess cholesterol in the human body?
The organ system most affected by high cholesterol is the circulatory system, or your blood vessels. When there is too much cholesterol in the blood, deposits can start to form inside the arteries. This is a serious problem, because over time, those deposits can grow and restrict the flow of blood to our vital organs. A blocked artery in the heart can cause a heart attack, while a blocked artery in the brain can cause a stroke.
Is calcium the same as limescale?
Calcium is a naturally occurring mineral that is essential for many bodily functions, while limescale is a deposit of calcium carbonate that forms on surfaces like faucets and pipes due to hard water.
