- Atherosclerosis
- Artery wall (endothelium) is damaged
- Inflammatory response
- Large white blood cells enter the wall from vessels
- Cholesterol accumulates
- A hard deposit forms called an atheroma
- Calciumsalts and fibrous tissue accumulates
- A hard plaque forms
- wall elasticity reduces
- artery narrows
- Raising Blood Pressure
- Atherosclerosis
- positive feedback : as arteries get narrower due to the plaque, blood pressure increases- a higher chnaceof damage to artery wall=plaque=arteries narrower
