Question

Which of the following statement is/are incorrect about atherosclerosis?

• A. The atrial walls becomes rigid
• B. The walls loose elastic nature
• C. The blood pressure decreases
• D. Arteries break and causes internal bleeding

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The blood pressure decreases

The condition in which the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque around the artery wall is called atherosclerosis. The disease blocks the flow of blood around the body. The atrial walls become rigid and loose their elastic nature. The blood pressure increases resulting in smaller arteries to break and cause internal bleeding.
