AI overview

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.

Une artère (du grec ἀρτηρία, artêria) est un vaisseau sanguin qui conduit le sang du cœur aux autres tissus de l'organisme. La quasi-totalité des artères conduisent le sang oxygéné vers les organes (par opposition aux veines), sauf pour les artères pulmonaires qui conduisent un sang pauvre en oxygène vers les poumons.
