CCA(Common Carotid Artery)
Common Carotid: blood supply to headand neck. RT and LT
External carotid: the exterior of the head, theface, and the greater part of the neck
Internal carotid: the parts inside the cranialand orbital cavities

Genesis of Plaque
LDL accumulates in inthe intima
LDL associates withextracellular matrix:proteoglycans
LDLs are separated fromplasma antioxidants;oxidative modification
Inflammatory response:phagocytes ingest lipidand become foam cells
Smooth-muscle cellsmigrate
