aorta is large and the fluid
velocity is high. If however

The arteries have the

appearance of ‘macroni’. They
have lost their elasticity, the
lumen remains open. Usually in
histological operations the
arteries collapse due to
elasticity. But in this case they
remain open, indicating damage
to the wall.

effects of Hypertension on the specific organ.
Kidney: Are small, atrophic, pallor, Granulatriy on external surface(normally,
it should be smooth). Between external surface and capsules are some
deposits, which makes the capsule less adherent to the kidney’s outer
surface.

can be observed here. Usually secondary to chronic
benign or primary hypertension. Can also occur in
some instances of malignant hypertension. Different
nerves can be compressed. Destruction of lateral wall
of 3rd ventricle can lead to death, as in this case.
