Hi Shivani,

Thank you for asking

Joint diastole is the relaxation of the four chambers of the heart.
Atherosclerosisis the narrowing of the arteries due plaque build-up in the artery wall.
Arteriosclerosisis a diseased condition of thearteries. The artery walls are thickened, hardened and lose stretchiness, called elasticity.
