What is the name of the disease characterised by a build up of fatty deposits within the arteries?
-
Scoliosis
-
Acidosis
-
Atherosclerosis
-
Osteoporosis
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Atherosclerosis is the correct answer because it is a disease characterized by the accumulation of fatty deposits, known as plaques, within the arteries. These plaques can harden and narrow the arteries, leading to reduced blood flow and potential complications such as heart disease, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, acidosis refers to excessive acidity in the body's fluids, and osteoporosis is a condition characterized by weak and brittle bones.
