arteries are blood vessels that take blood away from your heart and into your body. First the blood passaes through the right atrium then into the arteries where the blood is then deoxygenated and the oxygen is given to all your muscles.

Arteries can be divided into two groups: systemic arteries and pulmonary arteries.
Arteries in the systemic circulation carry red, oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body tissues.
Arteries in the pulmonary circuit carry blue, deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the lungs so that it can be reoxygenated at the alveoli (the sites of gas exchange in the lungs).
Whether blood in the arteries is red or blue depends on whether you are thinking of the systemic (where arterial blood is red) or pulmonary circuit (where arterial blood is blue).

popliteal arteries (a portion of the femoral arteries near the surface of the legs)
What are the heart's arteries?

carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to cells, tissues and organs of body.
What are veins and arteries?
Veins - veins run throughout the body, their main job is to deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart so it can get oxygenated and continue circulation. (They are usually are shown as color blue on the models of the circulatory system) Arteries - arteries are body's largest blood vessels. They main job/function is to take the oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it to the rest of the body.(arteries branch out to capillaries and other smaller blood vessels).(they are usually shown as color red on models of the circulatory system)
Which blood vessel carries blood?
Veins, Arteries (Capillaries are also blood vessels, but the main job is gas exchange).
What would happen if your arteries were missing?
Your heart pumps out blood in spurts. The muscles in your arteries smooth out your blood flow so that by the time your blood reaches your capillaries, your blood flows smooth and at low pressure. If they did not do their job, you would have internal bleeding.
The arteries that are also called distributing arteries are called?
muscular arteries
What circulatory system function?
The circulatory system, also the cardiovascular system, includes the heart, veins and arteries. The job of this system is to pump blood throughout the body. Veins take blood back to the heart, while arteries pump blood to parts of the body. Some main arteries are found in the wrist, the groin, and the neck. Hope it helps!
