A cross-sectional schematic of an artery shows an atheromatous plaque narrowing the lumen. The pathological lesion resides in the tunica intima of a muscular artery within the cardiovascular system, with a fibrous cap over an LRNC (lipid-rich necrotic core). The tunica media contains concentric VSMC (vascular smooth muscle cells). In pathology and vascular biology, this lesion exemplifies atherosclerosis, which impairs blood flow and predisposes to thrombosis and ischemia. The structure depicted is an arterial wall (anatomical structure) comprising intima, media, and adventitia at an intravascular site.
