The Reticuloendothelial System and Atherosclerosis

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the complexities of the circulatory system, emphasizing that blood vessels, particularly arteries, are dynamic organs rather than mere conduits. It explores how their structure varies with location and age, and how specific arteries are predisposed to certain diseases based on experimental and pathological evidence. The metabolic activity of arterial walls, their response to stimuli, and the impact of circulating blood on their morphology and function are key themes, highlighting the intricate relationship between blood vessels and overall cardiovascular health.
