Examine the model of the Progression of Atherosclerosis. Describe the difference in the location of the adipose tissue on this model versus the Vein and Arteries Model.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive disease affecting the arteries. It involves the buildup of fatty deposits, known as plaques, within the inner lining of arteries. This process leads to hardened and narrowed arteries, which eventually restrict blood flow.

Examine the preserved specimens of human arteries. Describe the difference between the normal artery and the artery with arteriosclerosis. What component(s) of peripheral resistance is/are decreased or increased by the disease condition?

• Normal Artery: Highly elastic and resilient, capable of distension and recoil to accommodate pulsatile blood flow. Walls are soft but firm; texture is pliable and smooth.

• Preserved Specimen: Stiffer and less elastic due to cross-linking of proteins by fixatives. The vessel may feel brittle or tough, depending on hydration level, and can break or crack if handled aggressively.

• Normal Artery: The lumen is open, flexible, and maintains circular or elliptical shape under normal pressure. Endothelial lining is intact and exhibits fine smooth layers.

• Preserved Specimen: Lumen can be collapsed or partially deformed, especially if surrounding fixation prevents maintenance of physiological pressure. The inner surface may show slight wrinkling or folding.
