Artery
Loading image...
A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart
Real World Example
Imagine trying to send a package from your home to a friend’s house across town. Just as you rely on a delivery service to transport the package from your starting point to its destination, arteries function similarly by transporting blood away from the heart to various parts of the body. In this analogy, your home represents the heart, the delivery truck is the artery, and your friend’s house symbolizes the destination organs and tissues that need blood.
