A longitudinal section of an artery shows the tunica intima lined by endothelial cells overlying subendothelial lipid accumulation consistent with early atherogenesis. In the cardiovascular system hierarchy, the blood vessel (organ-level anatomical structure) contains an intimal layer (tissue) composed of endothelium. The illustration relates to anatomy, pathology, and biochemistry, highlighting lipid peroxidation (LPO) driven by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Functionally, arteries conduct oxygenated blood, while oxidative modification of lipids promotes inflammation and plaque formation that can impair perfusion. The site depicted is the arterial wall within systemic circulation.
