PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The arteries (red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body’s tissues. The veins (blue) take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. 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-2: -Arteries: These strong, muscular blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to your body. They handle a large amount of force and pressure from your blood flow but don’t carry a large volume of blood. At any given time, only about 10% to 15% of your body’s blood is in your arteries.
