Q

Aortic valve

A

is located between the left ventricle and the aorta,
the largest artery in the body. It closes when the
left ventricle is fi nished contracting, allowing
blood to fl ow into the aorta and preventing blood
from fl owing back into the left ventricle.

Q

Capillaries

A

Connect arterioles with venules, the smallest veins. Capillaries are located in close proximity to almost every cell in the body. They have thin walls that contain only one layer of cells. These thin walls allow oxygen and nutrients to pass through to the cells and allow carbon
dioxide and metabolic products from the cells to enter the capillaries.

Centrosome

A

located in the cytoplasm and
near the nucleus. It contains two centrioles.
During mitosis, or cell division, the centrioles
separate. Thin cytoplasmic spindle fi bers form
between the centrioles and attach to the chro-
mosomes. This creates an even division of the
chromosomes in the two new cells.
