Which defines atherosclerosis? question 7 options: 1) sustained abnormally high blood pressure 2) the heart's inability to maintain its regular pumping force 3) thickening of artery walls by deposit of fatty substances 4) severe chest pain caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart?

The correct answer would be option 3. Atherosclerosis is the thickening of artery walls by deposit of fatty substances. It causes the arteries to harden due to the plaque build up inside. This disease would lead to more serious problems like coronary artery diseases.

Ithink the correct answer would be that since the disease is passed by a hand shake and can be cured with antibiotics that it could be an infection. an example could be that once when i was working in a bush camp, i got blood poisoning from blood blisters that got infected. our cook did not wash his hands after going to the bathroom and he passed staphyloccus on to the crew he fed. one other person also got a bad similar infection on the side of his face. i had to be rescued by helicopter and taken to the hospital so i wouldn't die!
