Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart.
Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. To understand this, it is important to have a basic knowledge of the circulatory system. The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart, a muscular organ located in the chest, pumps oxygenated blood to various parts of the body.
When the heart contracts, it pushes the blood out into the large blood vessels, called arteries. These arteries carry the oxygen-rich blood away from the heart and distribute it to all the organs and tissues in the body. Arteries have thick, muscular walls that help them withstand the high pressure generated by the heart's pumping action.
To remember that arteries carry blood away from the heart, you can think of the "A" in arteries standing for "away." The opposite of arteries are veins, which carry blood back towards the heart.
