Your arteries carry blood from the heart to all corners of the body. The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart, with well known branches like the carotid artery (to the head), the femoral arteries (to the legs), the brachial ateries (to the arms). The other main artery from the heart is the pulmonary artery which goes to the lungs to get oxygen.
