Arteries: How They Ensure Strong Blood Flow
Artery
Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They have thick, muscular walls that allow them to withstand the high pressure of the blood being pumped from the heart. This pressure is necessary to ensure that the blood is delivered to all parts of the body, even those that are far from the heart.
