Solution

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the tissues.
The blood flows in the artery under high pressure and in spurts.
If arteries are located superficially then there is a high possibility of their damage which could lead to a lot of blood loss.
To prevent this damage and blood loss, the arteries are deep-seated in the body.
