Q

how does atherosclerosis form/happen

A

endothelial injury to vessel walls
foam cells infiltrate, attach to damage, and accumulate fat.
fibrin accumulates on fatty streak and fibrous plaque develops

particles that shuttle cholesterol around the body

34
Q

HDL

A

high density lipoprotein
bring cholesterol to liver

35
Q

LDL

low density lipoprotein
take cholesterol away from liver
when elevated- sign of liver processing more cholesterol than the body can handle
