The blood channels that transport oxygen-rich blood from your heart to all of the cells in your body are called arteries, which are a component of your circulatory (cardiovascular) system.
They are essential for the movement of hormones, minerals, and oxygen throughout the body. The aorta, the primary high-pressure conduit joining the left ventricle of the heart to the body, is the biggest artery. A system of smaller arteries that run throughout the body branch off from the aorta. Arterioles and capillaries are the names of the smaller arteries' branches.
Each artery has three layers and is made up of a muscular tube that is surrounded by smooth tissue.
1. The intima, the inner layer that is lined with endothelium, is a smooth tissue.
2. The media, a layer of muscle that enables arteries to withstand the high heart pressures
3. The adventitia, is a connective tissue that anchors arteries to the tissues in the immediate area.
