Arteries contain digested food and is rich in oxygen.
Edit (Wolf5370): Completely incorrect. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart (under pressure as they are under direct pressure from the heart). They delivery oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body.

Do the larger arteries contain valves to prevent the back flow of blood?
No, veins have the valves, arteries don't.
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
Which blood vessels have elastic fibers?
Arteries contain elastic fibres. These are particularly abundant in the large conducting arteries, such as the aorta.
Do renal arteries contain more metabolic waste compared to the renal veins?
Yes, because the kidneys filter the blood carried by the renal arteries.
How is the structure of arterioles different from that of arteries?
The wall of the arterioles contain less elastic fibers but more smooth muscle cells than that of the aorta and arteries.
What blood do your arteries contain?
your arteries contain white blood cells and red blood cells.
Are Veins for impure blood and arteries for pure blood is it correct?
yes it is true that arteries contain pure blood and veins contain impure blood
Do the larger arteries contain valves to prevent the back flow of blood?
No, veins have the valves, arteries don't.
How are the arteries carrying blood to the lungs different from the other arteries?
The arteries carrying blood to the lungs contain deoxygenated blood. In contrast, other arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.
What does the blood contain that is returned to the heart lado chus?
arteries
Why do arteries have thicker walls then veins?
Because arteries are narrower, thus increasing the pressure in the arteries. So you need thicker walls to contain the blood under pressure.
Are there arteries in all fingers?
Yes, there are arteries in all of the fingers. All of the arteries that run throughout the fingers branch off of one larger artery. The hands contain both superficial and deep arteries.
Which blood vessels have elastic fibers?
Arteries contain elastic fibres. These are particularly abundant in the large conducting arteries, such as the aorta.
What is the difference between the blood in the arteries and the blood in the veins?
Veins do not pulsate Arteries pulsate Veins can easily collapse Arteries do not collapse (except in shock) Veins contain valves Blood pressure is low in the veins and higher in the arteries
Do renal arteries contain more metabolic waste compared to the renal veins?
Yes, because the kidneys filter the blood carried by the renal arteries.
How is the structure of arterioles different from that of arteries?
The wall of the arterioles contain less elastic fibers but more smooth muscle cells than that of the aorta and arteries.
Do the arteries that carry blood from the heart to the lungs contain arterial or venous blood?
