digestion
pancreas lipaase
bile- emulsify> micell
lipase> breaks off 2 fatty acids + leaves monoglyceride> absorbed
oil and water

for fats to travel
lipoprotein makes the shell of
PL
chol.
proteins
chylomicron
transport fat from intestine to body
VLDL lipoprotein
transport chol./TG from liver to body cells
LDL
if you have too much leftover chol. (ate more then cells can use) the LDL’s keep floating in the blood. Then get oxidized like a free radial.
receptor pathway
scavenger pathway
to remove the LDL
scavenger blood cells ingest LDL chol. and crawl into artery wall then die as foam cells leaving chol. as plaque
plaque
builds up and damages the artery
site of plaque
is irregular and plateletts will stick to it > blocks the artery
artery blocked in the heart
myocardial infarction
in the brain
cardiovascular accident
