artery
artery One of the
blood vessels that carry
blood away from the
heart. The
pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, but all other arteries, such as the
aorta, carry oxygenated blood to the body's tissues. An artery's walls are thick, elastic, and muscular, and pulsate as they carry the blood. A severed artery causes major
haemorrhage. A general term for degenerative diseases of the arteries is
arteriosclerosis.
