Deoxygenated blood: blood that does not have carried oxygen.
Oxygenated blood: blood that carries oxygen.
The heart takes deoxygenated blood and transfers it into the lungs where it carries oxygen then it comes back to the heart. That oxygenated blood is pumped to the rest of the body.
When the clogging done in the arteries enough, the blood flow stopped to the rest of the body. These are the arteries that carry blood to the heart. The heart also a muscle and needs itself oxygen.
The arteries that carry deoxygenated blood away from the tissue of the heart are called coronary arteries. When the arteries get clogged the arteries are the coronary arteries.
Plaques also form on the walls of the arteries. And the plaques the material inside of them are lipids, so things like fat, cholesterol, and also dead white blood cells create a messy substance. This is what we call plaques.
