artériája

Artériája is a Hungarian term referring to an artery. Arteries are a crucial part of the circulatory system, responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The term "artériája" specifically denotes the possessive form, meaning "its artery" or "his/her artery," indicating a particular artery belonging to an individual or a specific anatomical structure.

The walls of arteries are thick and muscular to withstand the high pressure of blood pumped from the heart. The largest artery in the body is the aorta, which branches out into smaller arteries, arterioles, and eventually capillaries, where the exchange of oxygen and nutrients with tissues occurs. Diseases affecting arteries, such as atherosclerosis, can lead to serious health conditions like heart attacks and strokes. Understanding the function and health of arteries is fundamental in medical science and patient care. In Hungarian medical contexts, "artériája" would be used when discussing the arteries of a specific patient or organ.
