Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide. These roadways travel in one direction only, to keep things going where they should.

Detailed explanation-2: -Arteries begin with the aorta, the large artery leaving the heart. They carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all of the body’s tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aorta (the main artery in your body) carries the blood from the left side of your heart to the rest of your body through many branches of arteries.
