Answer:

Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein. There are three types of lipids in the body, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterols.  Triglycerides are also known as triacylglycerols and compose 95% of fat in the foods we eat. Triglycerides are also the main fats we store in our body. When you pinch an inch around your waist, you are pinching triglycerides. Phospholipids bring water and fat together and are called emulsifiers. Phospholipids make up cell membranes and lipid carrier molecules. cholesterols are found in tissues of animals and plants. The most well known sterol in our body is cholesterol. Cholesterol makes up bile, hormones and vitamin D.

KIM [24]

As blood pressure increases and the hearts is working harder the most vulnerable arteries area are those <u>Located near the heart, because they are absorbing the most shock.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

When the heart pumps blood, the highest pressure is felt close to the heart. This is why the aorta, the artery that carries blood away from the heart is made up of thick walls to withstand this pressure, otherwise, these vessels would rupture. Away from the heart, this pressure lessens, and the blood vessels are not so thick-walled.
