Turbulent flow in humans is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque on arterial endothelium.

Biology
1 answer:
zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: (A) Narrowing of the artery causes the velocity to increase and the hydrostatic pressure to decrease.

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis is a disease which allows plaque to build up inside the arteries of a person. Arteries are responsible to carry oxygen-rich blood to heart and other areas of the body.  

Plaque consists of cholesterol, calcium, fat, and other substances which are present in the blood. Through time, the plaque hardens the arteries and narrows them. That restricts the oxygen-rich blood flow to your organs and to other parts of your body.  

Atherosclerosis can cause serious problems, including stroke and heart attack.

Hence the correct option is  (A).

What are brodmann areas and how do they relate to the neurological deficits that occur as the result of stroke?.
Viefleur [7K]

The Brodmann areas are a method of mapping the cortex and its distinct functions that was developed by Korbinian Brodmann, after whom the areas are named.

Korbinian Brodmann (November 17, 1868 – August 22, 1918) was a German neurologist best known for classifying the cerebral cortex into 52 distinct regions based on cytoarchitectonic (histological) characteristics. These areas are now commonly known as Brodmann areas.

The Brodmann classification divides the cortex into approximately 52 sequentially numbered areas, though some regions have since been subdivided and others are only found in non-human primates.

It is in charge of motor movements such as contralateral finger/hand/wrist or orofacial movements, learned motor sequences, breathing control, and voluntary blinking. The primary visual cortex (Brodmann area 17) is located on the medial surface of the occipital lobe, in and on either side of the calcarine sulcus.
