Arterioxerosis
Definition
A degenerative pathological condition of the vascular system representing the drying, pronounced induration, or structural dehydration of arterial walls, frequently associated with the terminal stages of senile arteriosclerosis. This histological phenomenon involves the atrophy of elastic fibers, reduced nutrient supply through vasa vasorum, and complete loss of vascular flexibility, transforming large arteries into rigid and fragile tubes unable to buffer the heart's systolic shock wave.
