Arterial endothelium injury causes Inflammation.
Vessel narrowing results in ischemia.
Foam cells release growth factors for smooth muscle cells.
Macrophages consume low-density lipoprotein (LDL), creating foam cells.
Smooth muscle grows over fatty streaks creating fibrous plaques.
Correct Answer: A,D,C,E,B
