The 16 pages that link to Artery, each with the reason it gives.

• AtherosclerosisNarrower topic: Atherosclerosis develops chiefly in medium and large arteries, within their walls.

• Countercurrent exchangeRelated: Arteries deliver warm blood toward exposed limbs and extremities.

• CapillaryCompared with: Arteries carry blood under higher pressure and have walls unlike the thin capillary barrier.

• Circulatory systemBroader topic: Its elastic, muscular walls withstand pressure from heartbeats.

• Vascular surgeryNarrower topic: Arterial wall structure and pressure shape the risks of aneurysm and occlusive disease.

• VasculitisBroader topic: Many major vasculitis syndromes primarily affect arteries.

• Blood flowBroader topic: Their branching and elastic walls shape flow from the heart toward tissues.

• AneurysmNarrower topic: Most aneurysms discussed clinically occur in arteries exposed to pulsatile pressure.

• AortaNarrower topic: The aorta is the largest and most central artery.

• Blood circulationBroader topic: Their elastic walls receive blood under pressure from the heart.

• Blood vesselBroader topic: Its thick, elastic walls withstand the high pressure of blood leaving the heart.

• ArterioleNarrower topic: Arterioles are the small downstream branches of arteries.

• Cardiovascular systemBroader topic: Its muscular, elastic wall withstands pressure from ventricular ejection.

• VenuleCompared with: Arteries carry blood outward under higher pressure; venules collect it after capillary exchange.

• ArteriosclerosisNarrower topic: Arteriosclerosis describes structural changes in the walls of these vessels.

• AngiologyBroader topic: Arterial structure and disease are central concerns of vascular medicine.
