| 释义 | artery (once / 932 pages) 1n 2n An artery is a major blood vessel that pumps blood away from your heart. For a healthy heart, keep your arteries clean! The word artery originally stemmed from the Greek arteria, which means "windpipe." An artery is distinct from a smaller passage that carries blood in the body, called a vein. An artery is more important, as it is larger and collects and dispenses vast amounts of blood to various cells and tissues throughout the body. The word artery can also refer to a major route of transportation that absorbs the flow of local routes, like a highway or an interstate. WORD FAMILYartery: arterial, arteries+/arterial: arterialise, arterialize, arterially/arterialize: arterialized USAGE EXAMPLESBroken-heart syndrome is when a surge of stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, cause arteries to seize, limiting blood flow to the heart.
