| hyalinization |
is a form of degeneration in which the tissues assume a homogeneous and glassy appearance. It is caused by blood vessels with a firm, transparent substance which causes loss of elasticity. It is responsible for hardening of the arteries and is often followed by calcification or deposit of lime salts in dead tissue.
