Answer: HDLs are antiatherogenic lipoproteins....

Explanation:

The anti-atherogenic effect of HDL occurs, above all, because of its properties to carry lipids, mainly cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues to the liver, which is known as reverse cholesterol transport(RCT). However, other protective actions of HDL, in addition to RCT, have been described in several experimental models and epidemiological studies. These actions include antioxidant protection, mediation of cholesterol efflux, inhibition of the expression of cell adhesion, leukocyte activation, regulation of blood coagulation and platelet activity.

Diabetes mellitus was the term used to define diabetes in general. Diabetes is defined as a metabolic disorder in which, usually, sugar levels are very high in the blood, due to a problem either with production of insulin, or the insulin present being incapable of performing its function.

All blood returns to the heart by way of either the superior vena cava or the inferior vena cava.
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The correct answer is A, as the statement is true. All blood returns to the heart by way of either the superior vena cava or the inferior vena cava.

Explanation:

The heart pumps blood to all parts of the body. Blood supplies oxygen and nutrients to the entire body and removes carbon dioxide and residual elements. As blood travels through the body, oxygen is consumed and blood becomes deoxygenated.

Deoxygenated blood returns from the rest of the body to the heart through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, the two main veins that carry the blood back to the heart.
