Answer:C. The patient may show signs of confusion, weakness, and partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plaque dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.

Explanation: Atherosclerosis is a condition that occur when the artery is blocked due to the buildup of fatty acids called plague preventing the flow of blood to vital organs. When this organs( such as heart and brain) are not supplied blood it could lead to malfunctioning or damage of such organ.

When the brain is not adequately supply with blood it could result into confusion, paralysis, constant weakness and even stroke in case of total blockage. Also, inadequate supply of blood to the heart can result into chest pain and aches and heart attack when the artery is block completely.

Regular exercise,good diet and treatment of ailment such as high blood pressure could help reduce the chances of having atherosclerosis.

Answer: Option C.

The patient may show sign of confusion, weakness ND partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plague dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries which reduce the length of arteries and make it narrow in the body, when the arteries that carry blood to the heart is affected by atherosclerosis, it lead to coronary artery diseases.

High blood pressure is a condition where the pressure of blood increases beyond the normal level.

A patient with these conditions, will have weakness and partial paralysis because the arteries is narrow and there is forceful blood flow, thereby overworking the arteries,making it to become weak and not carry blood efficiently, causing it to block. These will in turn reduce the blood nutrients that will be carry to the cells , cause weakness , partial paralysis and block blood flows.
