Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.

This is true in all cases except the pulmonary artery, which takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

Think of it this way: arteries take blood out of the heart, veins bring blood in.

Do arteries flow to the heart or away from the heart?

Arteries flow away from the heart. That's a technical answer. Some blood tubes that look like arteries flow into the heat to nourish it. Of interest is the pulmonary artery, the only artery to carry un-oxygenated blood. It carries blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated.


What are the arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle?

The coronary arteries are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood to the heart. However, most oxygen-rich blood is being carried away from the heart, meaning that most arteries are not carrying blood into the heart at all. Veins are responsible for carrying de-oxygenated blood towards the heart so that their oxygen supply can be replenished in the lungs.The two veins which actually enter the heart are the superior vena cava or the precava which carries blood from the upper half of the body into the heart and the inferior vena cava(IVC), also known as the posterior vena cava, which carries blood from the lower half of the body into the heart.
