In some instances, the levels of LDL cholesterol exceed the ability of the body to maintain homeostasis, and as a result, the excess material accumulates into fatty deposits that harden into plaques. Arrange in the correct order the sequence of events that leads to this condition, known as atherosclerosis: 1) The plaques harden, blocking the flow of blood in major arteries. 2) White blood cells become engorged with fatty deposits. 3) Excess LDL cholesterol accumulates in the interior of arterial walls. 4) Macrophages are drawn to this site.
