Asker's rating. 1  Fred is correct the smaller the number the bigger the metal. 2  12 gauge is thinner than 7 gauge. 3  The gague refers to the thickness of the metal in question. the issue of strenght is really determines by the type of metal, not necessarily it's thickness.
The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood out of the heart and into an artery called the aorta. From the aorta, blood branches out into a series of ever smaller tube-like vessels: arteries, arterioles and finally capillaries. The capillaries deliver the blood's oxygen and nutrients to cells.
The pulmonic artery carries blood to the lungs where it âpicks upâ oxygen, and leaves the lungs and returns to the heart through the pulmonic vein. The blood enters the left atrium, then descends through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps blood through the aortic valve, and into the aorta, the blood vessel that leads to the rest of the body.
