Solution

  • By definition, arteries are muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is transported from the heart to all parts of the body.
  • Arteries begin with the aorta(The aorta is the largest artery in the body. The aorta begins at the top of the left ventricle). Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all of the body's tissues. They branch several times, becoming smaller and smaller as they carry blood further from the heart and into organs.
  • Hence the blood from the heart is transported to all parts of the body by the "arteries".
