The arteries are the blood vessels that generally carry oxygenated blood from the heart around the body. 'Arteries' comes from the Greek 'arteria', which means windpipe. People in ancient times believed the arteries were empty, containing only air. If someone had been killed due to blood loss, the arterial pressure would have causes the arteries to drain, which is why they may have looked empty on examination.
