This are fatty deposits/ build up in your arteries that causes atherosclerosis. These deposits are made up of cholesterol, fatty substances, cellular waste products, calcium and fibrin (a clotting material in the blood). As it builds up, the wall of the blood vessel thickens.
Flake
Plaque
Cavity
Lump
Which of the following is a source of unsaturated fat?
Which vitamin deficiency due to fat malabsorption is most associated with bleeding disorders?
Vitamin D
Vitamin A
VItamin K
Vtamin E
Which of the following accurately describes a key physiological function of dietary and stored fats in humans?
They are the main structural component of red blood cells.
They provide insulation, cushion vital organs, and serve as an energy reserve.
They stimulate renal filtration to increase urine production.
They permanently suppress appetite through leptin signaling.
Which of the following best describes a critical physiological role of dietary and stored fats in the human body?
They serve as the primary substrate for gluconeogenesis.
They provide nitrogen for amino acid synthesis.
They directly neutralize free radicals in cell membranes.
They act as a concentrated energy source and vehicle for fat-soluble vitamins.
Which type of fatty acid makes up the majority of olive oil, contributing to its stability and cardioprotective effects?
Saturated fatty acids
Monounsaturated fatty acids
Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Trans Fats
Which of the following foods provides the highest amount of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which are directly usable by the body without conversion from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)?
Which lipid class is the primary storage form of fat in humans?
Cholesterol
Phospholipids
Triacylgylcerols
Free fatty acids
A 6-year-old child presents with dry, scaly skin, delayed wound healing, growth retardation, and signs of impaired cognitive development. Laboratory tests show normal overall fat intake but an imbalance in the dietary ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Which specific deficiency is most likely responsible for these clinical findings?
General dietary fat deficiency
Cholesterol deficiency (hypocholesterolemia)
Vitamain K deficiency
Omega-3 fatty acid deficiency
A 40-year-old man with celiac disease develops neurological problems, muscle weakness, and hemolytic anemia due to malabsorption. Which fat-soluble vitamin deficiency is most likely?
Vitamin A
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
Vitamin K
LDL is considered “bad cholesterol” because:
It deposits cholesterol in artery walls
It lowers blood sugar
It prevents clotting
It increases vitamin absorption
Which of the following correctly describes the harmful effects of trans fats?
They increase LDL cholesterol and decrease HDL cholesterol
They lower both LDL and HDL cholesterol
They have no significant effect on cholesterol levels
They increase HDL cholesterol and decrease LDL cholesterol
Excess fat accumulation in the liver due to lipotoxicity may lead to which condition?
Atherosclerosis
Osteoporosis
Chronic kidney disease
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Why does the misconception that “all fats are bad” persist despite their essential biological roles?
Because the human body can naturally synthesize all types of fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, making dietary fat unnecessary.
Because public health campaigns and media often oversimplify the message by equating fat intake directly with obesity and disease risk.
Because unlike proteins and carbohydrates, fats do not provide any role in hormone production, insulation, or cell membrane structure.
Because scientific studies show that eliminating all fats from the diet improves vitamin absorption and long-term energy storage.
