The accumulation (swelling) is always in the '''tunica intima''', between the [[endothelium]] lining and the smooth muscle [[tunica media|middle layer]] of the artery wall. While the early stages, based on gross appearance, have traditionally been termed [[fatty streaks]] by pathologists, they are not composed of [[fat cells]] but of accumulations of [[white blood cells]], especially [[macrophages]], that have taken up oxidized [[low-density lipoprotein]] (LDL).

Histology

The accumulation (swelling) is always in the tunica intima, between the endothelium lining and the smooth muscle middle layer of the artery wall. While the early stages, based on gross appearance, have traditionally been termed fatty streaks by pathologists, they are not composed of fat cells but of accumulations of white blood cells, especially macrophages, that have taken up oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
