arterelor

Arterelor is a Romanian term used in medical language related to arteries, the vessels that carry blood away from the heart. In Romanian anatomy, arterele denotes the arteries; arterelor is the genitive/dative form used in phrases such as "ramuri ale arterelor" to indicate possession or association with arteries.

Arteries transport blood from the heart to tissues. They have three layers: tunica intima (endothelium), tunica media (smooth muscle and elastic fibers), and tunica adventitia (supporting tissue). Elastic arteries near the heart absorb the pressure of systole; muscular arteries distribute blood to specific organs; arterioles, the smallest arteries, regulate entry into capillary beds and contribute to vascular resistance.

Pathologies include atherosclerosis, which narrows arterial lumens and increases cardiovascular risk; aneurysms, hypertension-related damage; and arterial occlusions. Diagnosis uses imaging, duplex ultrasonography, angiography, and blood pressure monitoring. Treatments include lifestyle modification, medications to manage cholesterol and blood pressure, and interventions to restore flow when necessary.

Arterelor play a central role in circulatory physiology, enabling organized delivery of oxygen and nutrients while maintaining systemic blood pressure. Understanding arterial structure and function is foundational in medicine and physiology.
