Also known as arteria, a., arteries
An artery () is a blood vessel in humans and most other animals that takes oxygenated blood away from the heart in the systemic circulation to one or more parts of the body. Exceptions that carry deoxygenated blood are the pulmonary arteries in the pulmonary circulation that carry blood to the lungs for oxygenation, and the umbilical arteries in the fetal circulation that carry deoxygenated blood to the placenta. It consists of a multi-layered artery wall wrapped into a tube-shaped channel.
An artery is a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of your body, though some arteries (like those leading to the lungs) carry deoxygenated blood instead. Arteries matter because they are essential for delivering oxygen-rich blood throughout your body, which keeps your tissues and organs alive and functioning.
