BSCS Biology: Understanding for Life With Your Partner How does presenting cholesterol results in graphs compare to the information you received about the patient cholesterol levels in Lesson 1? How might connecting the Flow of Cholesterol in the Body diagrams with the lipid panel test help us make sense of these test results?

What changes in the body cause coronary artery disease? 3. How do blood vessels function similarly and differently in people with and without coronary artery disease? 4. How does cholesterol fit into the coronary artery disease story? R Copyright and development by BSCS and Kendall Hunt Publishing Company.
