An artery is each of the vessels that carry
blood from the heart to the capillaries of
the body. They are born from a ventricle;
its walls are very resistant and elastic.
Etymology: the term "artery" comes from
the Greek ἀρτηρία, "tube, conduction
(linking)".

VEINS
 VENAS
A vein is a conduit or blood
vessel that is responsible for
carrying blood from the
blood capillaries to the heart.

Una vena es un conducto o vaso

sanguíneo que se encarga de
llevar la sangre de los capilares
sanguíneos hacia el corazón.
The aorta is the main artery of the human
body, which in average individuals is 2.5 cm
in diameter. The aorta gives rise to all the
arteries of the circulatory system except the
pulmonary arteries, which are born in the
right ventricle of the heart. The function of the
aorta is to transport and distribute oxygen-
rich blood to all arteries.

La aorta es la principal arteria del cuerpo

humano, que en individuos adultos tiene 2,5 cm
de diámetro en promedio. La aorta da origen a
todas las arterias del sistema circulatorio
excepto las arterias pulmonares, que nacen en
el ventrículo derecho del corazón. La función de
la aorta es transportar y distribuir sangre rica en
oxígeno a todas las arterias.
 characteristics
The aorta is an elastic artery5 and, as
such, it is very flexible and extensible. It
leaves the upper portion of the left
ventricle. When the left ventricle of the
heart contracts in the systole injecting
blood into the aorta, it expands. This
stretch confers the potential energy that
will help maintain blood pressure during
diastole, at which time the aorta
shortens positively.

Características
La aorta es una arteria elástica y, como tal, es muy flexible y extensible. Sale de
la porción superior del ventrículo izquierdo. Cuando el ventrículo izquierdo del
corazón se contrae en la sístole inyectando sangre a la aorta, esta se expande.
Este estiramiento confiere la energía potencial que ayudará a mantener la
presión sanguínea durante la diástole, momento durante el cual la aorta se
acorta positivamente.

the mediastinum. Due to its
relationship with the
pericardium, it is considered to
have an extrapericardial

intrapericardial portion.
CORAZON(heart)
The cardiovascular system
consists of the heart, blood
vessels, and the approximately
5 liters of blood that the blood
vessels transport.
Responsible for transporting
oxygen, nutrients, hormones,
and cellular waste products
throughout the body, the
cardiovascular system is
powered by the body’s hardest-
working organ
El sistema cardiovascular consiste en el corazón,

There are 2 primary circulatory
loops in the human body:
the pulmonary circulation loopand
the systemic circulation loop.

1.Pulmonary circulation
transports deoxygenated blood
from the right side of the heart to
the lungs, where the blood picks
up oxygen and returns to the left
side of the heart. The pumping
chambers of the heart that
support the pulmonary circulation
loop are the right atrium and right
ventricle.

soportan el circuito de circulación
pulmonar son la aurícula derecha
