The arteries that are located throughout your body are in the chest are and near the heart where the most important arteries lye, these arteries help digest the food and provide blood and oxygen in your body.
Arteries carry blood from the heart to the cells of the body.

The arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to to the rest of the body.
the pulmonary vein?
Let me think... Arteries!!!!The main artery that begins with 'a' is the aorta. It is the artery that comes out of the right ventricle and provides the whole body with oxygenated blood.
Veins carry carbon Dioxide to the heart and arteries carry oxygen to the body.
Like veins, arteries pump the blood around the body. It's sort of like the 'main vein' (I Think) Regards, GiGi
Veins and arteries
Parts of the body do not have responsibilities they have functions. The function of the arteries is to transport blood.
Veins - veins run throughout the body, their main job is to deliver deoxygenated blood to the heart so it can get oxygenated and continue circulation. (They are usually are shown as color blue on the models of the circulatory system) Arteries - arteries are body's largest blood vessels. They main job/function is to take the oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it to the rest of the body.(arteries branch out to capillaries and other smaller blood vessels).(they are usually shown as color red on models of the circulatory system)
There are too many to count. There are also variations from person to person. The biggest arteries branch into smaller arteries and those branch into smaller and smaller arteries down to the arterioles, which are very small and there are many of them. Some people say there are millions of arteries in the human body. One source says there are so many arteries in the body that if you laid them end to end, they would be about 60,000 miles long.
What arteries in your body don not cary oxygen?
