carry blood away from the heart to other parts of the body.
ANSWER:
Arteries usually carry oxygenated blood from heart to all the parts of the body whereas a coronary artery carries oxygenated blood and supplies it to the heart muscle-myocardium (for its functioning!) and that's where usually angina results as a result of artery thickening.
Also the pulmonary artery is the only artery to carry de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for purification!!

Does blood flow from your heart through artieries and returns through veins?
Yes, blood flows into the heart via veins. Blood flows away from the heart in aryteries.
A vessel that moves blood away from the heart?
Arteries Veins carry blood to the heart. The general notion that all arteries carry oxygenated blood is incorrect. Because the pulmonary arteries and umbilical arteries carry unoxygenated blood.
How are arteries that lead from your heart to your lungs different from other arteries?
the artieries that lead to your heart have carbon dioxide (Co2) in them and the arteries that lead to your body are carrying oxygen to the body parts
Why do veins have less collagen elastic fibers and smooth muscles than arteries?
Because blood in veins is under lower pressure than in arteries, so they do not need as many collagen fibres. In addition, as veins already have a wide diameter, they do not need to dilate that much hence they also dont contract that much (as opposed to artieries), so they have less elastic recoil, thus they have less elastic fibres. :)
Which artieries supplies the heart with a blood supply?
Vena Cava
What are artieries?
Arteries are part of the body. They are located everywhere!! They are very thick and important.
What is vasculitus?
It means an inflammatory destruction of blood vessels.Both veins and artieries are infected.
Can drinking water clear your artieries?
Drinking water can't clear arteries, but it can help flush out substances through urine.
Where do The left and right pulmonary artieries carry blood to the?
The left and right pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
Does blood flow from your heart through artieries and returns through veins?
Yes, blood flows into the heart via veins. Blood flows away from the heart in aryteries.
How the arteries that lead from your heart to your lungs different from the other arteries in your body?
the artieries that lead to your heart have carbon dioxide (Co2) in them and the arteries that lead to your body are carrying oxygen to the body parts
What are the valves in the veins called?
To prevent back flow of blood as the blood pressure in veins is greatly decreased compared to artieries
Are arteries thicker and stronger than veins and have two major properties?
Yes, Arteries are stronger and thicker than veins because they get more pressure from the heart. Arteries take blood away from the heart. Veins take blood toward the heart. The two major properties of artieries are their elasticity and contactility.
Why does the brain need a constant blood supply?
The brain uses about half of the oxygen taken in. Actually the real answer is because the brain is extremely sensitive to changes in its circulatory supply. An interruption of circulation for several seconds will produce unconsciousness and after 4 minutes there may be some permanent brain damage.
