Describe ways in which a healthy artery differs from an artery affected by coronary heart disease

Biology
1 answer:
JulsSmile [24]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A healthy artery is wider and has no blockages. The lumen (which is the hole in the centre of the artery), is open and clear. This means there is more blood flow. An artery of a person suffering from coronary heart disease is often blocked, usually by a fatty deposit. This means the blood does not flow as well. (See diagram, in which I would draw two arteries, one with a blockage of fatty deposit, one clear and healthy).

The _________________ is composed of and endothelial layer that is continuous with the endocardium of the heart.

The t<u>unica media</u> is composed of an endothelial layer that is continuous with the endocardium of the heart.

<h3>What is tunica media?</h3>

Collagen, elastin, and smooth muscle cells make up tunica media. It is located halfway between the tunica externa and the tunica intima. The transverse arrangement of its strands and color make the middle coat (tunica medium) distinct from the inner (tunica intima). It not only supports the vessel but also alters the vessel's width to control blood pressure and flow.

Elastic fibers make up the majority of the tunica media in bigger vessels. The number of elastic fibers reduces as arteries get smaller, whereas the number of smooth muscle fibers grows. The strongest of the three layers is the tunica adventitia, which is the top layer. Elastic and collagenous fibers make up its structure.

Which term identifies the process used by the cell to remove large molecules?
GarryVolchara [31]

The right answer is Exocytosis.

In a eukaryotic cell, exocytosis is a mechanism of material release by invagination of the cytoplasmic membrane. It consists of a spillage of the products of a vesicle outside the cell, by fusion of the plasma membrane with the membrane of this vesicle.

Its opposite (or reverse) is endocytosis. In the case of a vacuole, see the exocytosis vacuole.
