The most likely reason for the proliferation of the atherosclerotic plague in his coronary arteries is the elevated blood cholesterol level. The development of the foam cells is promoted by the increased levels of the blood cholesterol. The foam cells, in turn, promotes the development of the atherosclerotic plague. The decrease in the oxygen supply leads to the development of the variant angina.

Hence, the answer is 'increased blood cholesterol level'.

An inhibitory stimulus has occurred. B. Chemically gated potassium channels have opened. C. Excessive potassium has diffused out

andrezito [222]

Given question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

C. Excessive potassium has diffused out causing hyperpolarization.

Explanation:

The nerve action potential can be divided into following stages:

Stimulus is detected by the cell in resting stage.
Sodium channels in the membrane open from where influx of sodium ions occur which is called depolarization
After a while, sodium channels close and potassium channels open from where efflux of potassium ions occur which is called repolarization.
The membrane potential further lowers due to continous efflux of potassium ions which is called hyperpolarization.
After a while potassium channels close and membrane returns to its resting stage.

In the given figure, stage 4 depicts hyperpolarization because the membrane potential has dropped to the lowest point below -70mV. Hence, option C is correct.
