What would happen if your arteries cannot deliver blood?
A
your tissues would not get the oxygen they need
B
the skin would be extra hairy
C
the heart would not work
D
you would immediately fall asleep
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Without blood flow, the affected heart muscle will begin to die. If blood flow isn’t restored quickly, a heart attack can cause permanent heart damage and death.

Detailed explanation-2: -A complete blockage of blood flow can cause a heart attack. Coronary artery disease often develops over decades. Symptoms may go unnoticed until a significant blockage causes problems or a heart attack occurs. Following a heart-healthy lifestyle can help prevent coronary artery disease.

Detailed explanation-3: -If the blood and oxygen supply is cut off, muscle cells of the heart begin to suffer damage and start to die (infarct). Permanent) damage begins within 30 minutes of blockage. The heart muscle may then no longer work as it should.

Detailed explanation-4: -Without blood, the body’s organs couldn’t get the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive, we couldn’t keep warm or cool off, fight infections, or get rid of our own waste products. Without enough blood, we’d weaken and die.

Detailed explanation-5: -The arteries (red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body’s tissues. The veins (blue) take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
