All the arteries, except the pulmonary artery, carries oxygenated blood from the heart (left ventricle to the aorta, then to the rest of the body), and provides systemic circulation.
The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventrical of the heart to the head first and then to the rest of the body through branches that get much smaller as they near the capilaries to allow gas exchange to occur between the tissues and each individual cell.
