Deposition of cholesterol in walls of arteries is
- Arteriosclerosis
- Embolus
- Atherosclerosis
- Carditis
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
Approach Solution -2
EXPLANATION:
- The build-up of plaque includes accumulation of cholesterol, fatty acids, other lipids, calcium, and various cellular waste products in the inner walls of arteries of the heart
- This condition is called atherosclerosis.
- With time, if the buildup increases, then the wall of arteries gets blocked, resulting in restriction of blood flow towards the heart and causing heart attacks and strokes.
- Atherosclerosis progresses without any symptoms until a major blockage occurs, obstructing blood flow.
Other given options refer to:
- ARTERIOSCLEROSIS: In this condition, the walls of the arteries become thick and hard. Many times, this condition is present with ATHEROSCLEROSIS. Both conditions co-exist in the arteries and can cause a heart attack or stroke.
- EMBOLUS: The embolus refers to a moving clot or an obstructive substance through the bloodstream. It can attach to a blood vessel and cause blockage, resulting in heart blockage.
- Carditis: the heart has 3 layers of muscles: myocardium, pericardium, and endocardium. Carditis is a condition in which inflammation occurs on any of these 3 muscles of the heart. The reason behind the inflammation can be infections, autoimmune reactions, or any other condition.

Body Fluids and Circulation
Liquid substances in the animal or human body are known as body fluids. The human body consists of about 60-67% body fluids. The chief components of the human body fluids are blood and lymph. Blood comprises a matrix called plasma with blood corpuscles floating in it. The blood cells are white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Lymph consists of lymph cells.

Types of Body Fluids:
The different types of body fluids:
Blood
The main components of blood involve;
- Plasma
- Red Blood Cells
- White Blood Cells
- Platelets
Lymph
A colorless fluid present in the interstitial tissues is lymph. It circulates all over the lymphatic system. It can be described as blood without the RBCs. The exchange of hormones, nutrients, and gases occurs via this fluid. It contains lymphocytes that play a major function in the immune responses of the body.
The movement of blood across the vessels of the body that carries nutrients and gases along with it and removes waste from the different parts of the body is circulation.
Types of Circulatory Systems:
There are two types of circulatory systems:
- Open Circulatory system
- Closed circulatory system
