When an individual has Atherosclerosis, it forms Plaque within the Arteries.
How does Atherosclerosis affect Blood Flow?
Arterial plaque clogs the arteries, limiting or stopping blood flow.
Arterial plaque changes the direction of blood flow, which forces oxygenated blood to the heart.
Arterial plaque changes the size of blood cells, which prevents blood from flowing in the arteries.
Arterial plaque clears the arteries, increasing blood flow.
Flexibility in blood vessels allows the vessels to stretch and move based on changes in Blood Volume. Conditions like Hypertension can cause the arteries to harden and lose their Flexibility.
How would the hardening of the arteries most likely affect Blood Flow?
The hardening of the arteries would likely cause blood flow to remain constant.
The hardening of the arteries would likely increase blood flow.
The hardening of the arteries would likely cause blood flow to stop completely.
The hardening of the arteries would likely restrict blood flow.
