A schematic cross-sectional view of an artery shows a narrowed lumen with a yellow, lipid-rich atherosclerotic plaque along the intimal wall and several biconcave RBCs (red blood cells) within the bloodstream. In biological hierarchy, the artery is a blood vessel within the cardiovascular system, while erythrocytes are circulating cells within the vascular tissue. In anatomy and pathology/cardiology, this lesion represents atheroma formation that reduces vascular diameter and impedes perfusion, predisposing to thrombosis and ischemia at the arterial site.
