 VOCABULARY
Atria:
Cavity upper or anterior part heart mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians where
it enters the blood carrying veins.

Ventricle:
Each of the two chambers of the heart that receive blood from the atria and by
contraction of its muscular walls, send it to the arteries.

Aorta:
It is the main artery of the human body, which in adult individuals is 2.5 cm in
diameter.

Capillaries:
Blood vessels very small diameter and thin walls that communicate the small
arteries (arterioles) with veins, allowing nutrients and oxygen to pass to tissues and
collecting waste products.

Veins:
Is a conduit or vessel which is responsible for carrying blood from the capillaries to
the heart.

Artery:
Is each of the vessels that carry oxygenated blood (except pulmonary arteries)
from the heart to other parts of the body.

Heart:
Muscular organ of vertebrates and some invertebrates that pushes blood to the
whole body through the circulatory system.

Blood:
Is a connective tissue fluid, flowing through capillaries, veins and arteries of all
vertebrates. Its characteristic red color is due to the presence of pigment
hemoglobinico content in red blood cells.
