Noticed today a new chip that clogs people's heads. This tale about clogged vessels in calcium. About how if we take into abnormal calcium salts, these salts can clog blood vessels. That's bullshit. It does not happen. The blood vessel lumen may not appear calcium deposits. But calcium can be deposited in the thickness of the vascular walls. Let me explain, I make it clearer.
Calcium is deposited only in the arteries
Arteries are always inside the muscle layer. In the veins of calcium is not delayed, because they do not have the muscle layer.
The muscular layer of the arteries need to adjust its clearance
If the arteries expand, then it drops blood pressure. Or conversely high blood pressure in the arteries hammer, and they resist and taper at their own muscles.
This is similar to the construction of bones
Calcium is deposited inside the artery walls when some cells of the muscular layer of the arteries are transformed into cells that build bone. It is literally like building bones of calcium. This is a complex biological process that is associated with the activation of specific genes. As a result, inside the artery walls process starts calcium shelving.
Calcium is deposited in the thickness of the wall
If the artery is atherosclerotic plaque, the calcium is deposited closer to the inner surface of the artery wall. If plaque is not present, the calcium is deposited closer to the middle of the artery wall. Probably the bike here and there. The fact is that calcium in the heart arteries is considered a sign of problems in the heart. This calcium is there specifically looking out for X-ray and calculate the amount thereof.
Delayed naked calcium
Another important feature. In the wall of the arteries that calcium is deposited, which is already in the body, regardless of how salt it to us in the body did.
This is very similar to when people ask when drunk tea gets into the kidneys. no tea, and excess water gets into the kidneys. It's like a filled bath, in which you take, and the water pours over the edge. Any water we drink, it becomes part of a large internal volume of our water. This is not the tea, not the soup and coffee. That is, you pour water from above and below the bottom of the kicks is another water. Since the volume of water maintained in the body.
The same thing happens with calcium. We can get drunk what some different calcium salts, but inside our body that calcium will float separately from its salt. It will be alive or calcium ions associated with blood proteins. If our bodies need calcium, it takes calcium from the general pile, and will not remember where that calcium appeared, and with what salt we eat.
No salt deposits in the form of calcium stones in the inner wall of the artery is not present, and a brush for washing dishes they are not cleared.
Published in the same breath. Sorry if messy. Just some of the questions I sometimes drives to a screeching halt.
