atherosclerosis/ thrombi
Next week in biology, we're having a mastermind quiz. We had to pick the part of the topic that we struggled with the most and revise it, to be asked questions on.
The thing i find hardest and what i get mixed up with is the formation of atheromas, leading to atherosclerosis and the formation of thrombi, but what questions could they ask me?
Any ideas?

It doesn't matter if it's the same school or not, the principle remains the same.
My point in posting is that you don't appear to have a great deal of common sense and now you ask about, "the formation of atheromas, leading to atherosclerosis and the formation of thrombi"
I would suggest a more simple topic for you to study if you have no idea what questions they could possibly ask you.

Questions that are relevant:
1) What is Atheroma
2) Where is Atheroma commonly deposited
3) What predisposes to Atheroma.
4) What may be the sequelae of Atheromatous plaques.
5) What is a thrombus.
6) What is the difference between a thrombus and an embolus.
7) Is there a connection between high blood cholesterol and heart disease.
8) What are HDLs and LDL´s
They should cover any eventual questions.
Good luck.

1) A build up of plaquey stuff made from calcium salts and crud.
2) is it atheromas that are arteries only and thrombi that can be any vessel . . .
3) (I think I know what you're asking) if you lead an unhelathy lifestyle such as eating a diet high in LDLs, salt and alcohol aswell as smoking and not doing much exercise.
5) in laymans terms, a blood clot.
7) well LDLs are bad and HDLs 'mop' the LDLs up from the blood to the (liver?). if you have too much LDL in your diet, (does it thicken your blood?) so thrombi and atherosclerosis are more likely to form which may blcok your whole vessel leading to a myocardial infarction . . .
8) low/ high density lipoproteins, two kinds of cholesterols, there's also very-low-density-lipoporteins aswell.

Yay, thanks squad.
4) I get a bit muddled with it and thrombi. 1. damage to artery wall endothelium from high blood pressure. 2. something to do with white blood cells and cholesterol leaving or entering the artery wall. 3. an atheroma then forms which builds up calcium salts and fibrey stuff which combine to form plaque. 4. this blocks the artery, raising BP even more and positive feedback of it getting worse happens.

molly....excellent
4) Atheromatous plaque,,,,,,coronary artery,,,,obstruction>>>>>>death of heart muscle (ischaemia)>>>>>>heart attack>>>>>cardiac arrhythmias >>>>>>> ventricular fibrillation>>>>>>>death.
Cerebral artery......blockage>>>>>ischaemia (blockage)>>>>>>>stroke.
Limb artery>>>>>blockage>>>>>>>gangrene>>>>>>>>amp
