| 11. | The oxidized LDL accumulates in the macrophages and other phagocytes, which are then known as foam cells.
|
| 12. | The formation of foam cells and their continued accumulation in the intima lead to the formation of fatty streaks.
|
| 13. | After they accumulate large amounts of cytoplasmic membranes ( with associated high cholesterol content ) they are called foam cells.
|
| 14. | Scavenger receptors typically are found on macrophages, with cholesterol laden macrophages being better known as " foam cells ".
|
| 15. | Foam cells are the body's way of trying to get rid of bad cholesterol from the blood vessels.
|
| 16. | The immune system's specialized white blood cells ( macrophages ) absorb the oxidized LDL, forming specialized foam cells.
|
| 17. | Foam cells are formed when the body sends macrophages to the location of a fatty deposit on the blood vessel walls.
|
| 18. | Foam cells do not give off any explicit signs or symptoms, but they are part of the origin of atherosclerosis.
|
| 19. | Atherosclerosis is caused by the accumulation of macrophages containing cholesterol ( foam cells ) in artery walls ( in the intima ).
|
| 20. | In Germany he became the first to describe the cholesterinesterphagozyten, which derive from macrophages and today are known as foam cells.
