How do the arteries of someone with atheroscierosis differ from healthy arteries?
People who have atherosclerosis have lipid deposits or fat in their arteries. The fat makes carrying blood to the cells of the body difficult. You may have a heart attack or stroke depending on which artery is clogged.
Where is the location of the left pulmonary vein?
The left pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the left lung to the left atrium of the heart. The pulmonary arteries and veins are the only ones which are "opposite" as the rest of the bodies veins and arteries. Veins normally carry unoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart/lungs. Arteries normally carry oxygenated blood to the body from the heart. Pulmonary arteries carry unoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart.

What makes the pulmonary veins and arteries more confusing than other veins and arteries?
We usually think of arteries as the vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the body, and we usually think of veins as the vessels that carry spent blood back to the heart/lungs. But the vessels around the heart can be a little different. It is an artery that carries spent blood from the heart to the lungs (where they get re-charged with oxygen), and then it is a vein that carries this oxygenated blood back to the heart to then be pumped out to the body.
To clear it up, realize that if a vessel is carrying blood out of the heart chambers, it is an artery. If the vessel is carrying blood back to the heart chambers, it is a vein. It is not oxygen content that defines a vessel as an artery or a vein.
The coronary arteries are vessels that are carrying oxygenated blood out of the heart chambers and into the heart muscle itself; they are not carrying blood into the chambers for pumping. So they also are indeed arteries and not veins.

What is a purple vein on your balls?
A purple vein on the testicles can be a normal anatomical feature, as veins may appear more prominent due to factors like temperature changes, physical activity, or increased blood flow. However, if the discoloration is new, persistent, or accompanied by pain or swelling, it could indicate a condition such as a varicocele or other vascular issue that should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. It's important to monitor any changes and consult a doctor for personalized advice.
