Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aneurysms are primarily caused by the deterioration of elastin and collagen in arteries (A) and by pressure pulses in arteries (C). The weakening of the arterial wall due to the loss of structural proteins like elastin and collagen can lead to aneurysms, as can the constant pressure fluctuations experienced by arteries. Veins are less commonly associated with aneurysms due to their lower pressure and different structure compared to arteries.
