Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arteriosclerosis is the condition in which the walls of arteries become stiff and lose their elasticity. Atherosclerosis, on the other hand, is a specific type of arteriosclerosis where plaque builds up inside the arteries, narrowing them and causing reduced blood flow. Stroke and migraine neuralgia are not directly related to arteriosclerosis.
