A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart

Real World Example

Imagine trying to distribute all the party invitations from your house to your friends' houses around town. Just like how you act as the messenger carrying invitations from your home to various destinations, an artery functions by transporting blood away from the heart to different parts of the body. In this analogy, your house is the heart, the invitations are the blood, and your friends' houses are the organs and tissues that need the oxygen and nutrients carried by the blood.
