| meaning 2 | artery | Valtimo kuljettaa happea ja ravintoaineita veren mukana kudoksille. Poikkeuksen tekevät keuhkovaltimot, jotka vievät hiilidioksidipitoisen veren keuhkoihin hapettumaan. The artery carries oxygen and nutrients along with the blood to the tissues. An exception is made by the pulmonary arteries, which take blood containing carbon dioxide to the lungs for oxygenation. |
