Outline the pathological changes in blood vessels in both large and small vessel peripheral arterial disease
Across
- 3. Black, mummified tissue from severe arterial insufficiency
- 8. Oxygen deprivation at the tissue level
- 10. Stiffening of the large and middle arteries
- 11. Death of tissue due to prolonged ischemia
- 13. The ability of an artery to expand or contract
- 15. Platelet-rich clot forming on atherosclerotic plaque
- 16. Inflammatory cells filled with lipid in plaques
- 17. Complete blockage of the arterial lumen
- 18. A hollow, central channel through which the blood flows through
Down
- 1. A chronic condition involving glucose control that affects the blood vessels
- 2. Mechanism of arterolosclerosis
- 4. Mechanism of arteriosclerosis
- 5. The buildup of calcium deposits in the artery walls
- 6. High bloodpressure
- 7. Reduced blood flow to the peripheral tissue
- 9. Stiffening of the small arteries and arterioles
- 12. Replacement of normal tissue with scar tissue
- 14. A slow buildup of fatty substances on the artery wall
