Question
Chapter 24.7, Problem 24.8CIAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term Arterial plaque should be explained. It is desirable to have HDL value and a relatively low LDL value; the reason behind this should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Arterial plaque is a condition in which the flow of blood in the artery will partially blocked by the deposition of cholesterol and associated lipids (known collectively as plaque).
Atherosclerosis is a vascular disease associated with the accumulation of lipids leading to the invasion of leukocytes and smooth muscle cells into the intima, a process which may proceed to the formation of plaque on the wall of arteries and vessels.
Cholesterol is a waxy fat carried through the bloodstream by lipoproteins.
LDL - Low Density Lipoprotein
HDL – High Density Lipoprotein
