Different types of cholesterols transport lipids throughout the body?
There are two main types of cholesterol transporters in the body: LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein). LDL carries cholesterol from the liver to cells for use, but can also deposit excess cholesterol in the arteries, leading to plaque formation. HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the arteries and transports it back to the liver for excretion from the body.
Can I check my cholesterol myself?
Cholesterol is a substance in the body that makes up the fats and lipids that circulate through the blood stream. As a person ages this cholesterol begins to deposit on arteries so that they become harder over time. The only way to check the level of your cholesterol is by a blood test done at your doctor office.
What is a xanthelasma?
A xanthelasma is a deposit of cholesterol on the eyelid.
What is the lipid containing deposit in a blood bessel?
The lipid-containing deposit in a blood vessel is known as plaque. Plaque consists of cholesterol, fat, calcium, and other substances that build up in the inner layers of arteries, leading to a condition called atherosclerosis. Over time, plaque can narrow and harden the arteries, restricting blood flow and potentially leading to serious health problems such as heart attack and stroke.
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 does cholesterol deposit in the liver?
because of endothelial injury..refer patholgy
What is the structure of LDL and HDL particles and how do they differ in terms of their composition and function?
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and HDL (high-density lipoprotein) are both types of lipoprotein particles that transport cholesterol in the blood. The structure of LDL particles consists of a core of cholesterol esters surrounded by a shell of phospholipids and apolipoproteins. LDL particles are known as "bad" cholesterol because they can deposit cholesterol in the walls of arteries, leading to atherosclerosis. On the other hand, HDL particles have a core of cholesterol and triglycerides surrounded by a shell of phospholipids and apolipoproteins. HDL particles are considered "good" cholesterol because they help remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and transport it to the liver for excretion. In summary, LDL particles transport cholesterol from the liver to the tissues, while HDL particles transport excess cholesterol from the tissues back to the liver.
Which term describes a fatty deposit on an artery wall?
cholesterol, but more specifically the LDL (low-density lipoprotein) portions of cholesterol
What is the medical term meaning condition characterized by the deposit of fatty material along the linings of the arteries?

How will you keep your blood vessels free from deposit?
Stay away from fats and high cholesterol and exercise regularly.
Does cholesterol get absorbed into the blood?
No. They build up in the arteries that pump the blood to your heart. Cholesterol is the fancy word for "Bad fat". It is the fat that builds up in your arteries from all of the junk food you eat. On the nutrition facts of your favorite chips might say zero mg of cholesterol, but consider that how much sodium and sugar is in there. You can live without sugar and salt in health terms. But it might become a habit to put salt in your meals or to spice up a dull healthy meal. Or it might be tempting to pop sugar into your mouth raw. Both satisfying, and a nice fatty deposit builds up.Eventually the heart is not able to pump blood and has to work harder. It normally leads to a heart attack. And most likely, there are no survivors of the vicious attack.
