Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atherosclerosis is a condition in which plaque buildup in the inner lining of arteries limits the flow of blood through large arteries. Arteriosclerosis is a broader term used to describe any hardening or thickening of arterial walls. Cerebrovascular impingement is not a recognized medical condition, and CAM stands for complementary and alternative medicine and is not related to the buildup of plaque in arteries.
