Flashcard 8: Atherosclerotic plaques thicken the intima and impair perfusion of the tunica media resulting in _____ of smooth muscle cells

Answer: atrophy

Extra: Atherosclerotic plaques increase the diffusion distance for nutrients from the lumen to the media, leading to ischemic atrophy and weakening of the vessel wall. This is a key mechanism in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Flashcard 9: Which arteries may be associated with anterolateral myocardial infarction? _____

Answer: LAD or LCX
