artery

The Spanish word 'arteria' translates to 'artery' in English. An artery, or 'arteria', is a large tubular structure in the body that carries blood away from the heart. It is a vital part of the circulatory system, transporting oxygenated blood (except in the case of the pulmonary artery) to the body's cells, tissues, and organs. The term 'arteria' is often used in medical and health contexts.
