Artery
An artery is a blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to tissues and organs throughout the body. Arteries have thick, muscular walls that withstand high pressure and allow efficient blood flow. Maintaining artery health is important to prevent cardiovascular diseases like atherosclerosis and hypertension.
