Arteries carry oxygenated blood to small distribution capillaries where the nutrients in the blood are absorbed by the cells throughout your body. The cell 'trades' oxygen for its carbon dioxide waste which is then carried back to the heart and lungs for re-oxygenation. Basically you breath in stuff that goes into your lungs where the blood takes it to hungry cells, and you breath out the unwanted stuff that comes from it. The arteries are just transport tubes for the blood.

During diastole the aorta contracts along with the arterial system to maintain blood pressure. The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy at this stage. This gives you the diastolic blood pressure. Beat by beat, this phenomena continues.
