IB Biology B3.2.6 Coronary artery occlusion
Practise connecting cholesterol, plaques and blood clots to reduced coronary blood flow, plus careful interpretation of BMI correlation data.
How this is tested
- outline how high blood cholesterol can narrow coronary arteries and reduce flow
- explain how plaque or clot formation can limit oxygen supply to heart muscle
- interpret graphs cautiously, distinguishing correlation from causation in BMI data
