Q

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BLOOD CLOTS

A
  • the platelets release chemicals that reacts with other chemicals in the plasma

Q

WHAT IS CORONARY HEART DISEASE

A
  • fats build up in arteries and hardens them
  • this forms a blood clot and can be swepted away into the coronary artery
  • this will reduce the amount of blood getting to the cardiac muscle (big muscle on the heart)
  • causing a heart attack
17
