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.
An atom is the smallest component of an element that still retains the properties of the element.
A neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom. It is neutral as it carries no electric charge.
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
