Let's suppose that one eats a meal that has bacon strips. Trace the path of the dietary cholesterol to one's arteries. Hint: Who emulsifies fats in the small intestine? Who transports fats from the small intestine into the bloodstream? Which lipoproteins deposit them into the blood vessels to form arterial plaques?
Sri K.
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.

The risk of atherosclerosis (a.k.a. hardening of the arteries) is linked to the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream (called serum cholesterol). The higher the serum cholesterol levels, the greater the risk of atherosclerosis. There's a causal connection between serum cholesterol levels and risk of atherosclerosis. Conclusion: [Select] Method: [Select] Strong or Weak? [Select]
