thermosphere |
|
troposphere |
|

Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
arterioles |
|
plasma |
|
capillaries |
|
veins |
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
