Artery
A vessel that carries blood high in oxygen content away from the heart to the farthest reaches of the body. Since blood in arteries is usually full of oxygen, the haemoglobin in the red blood cells is oxygenated. The resultant form of haemoglobin (oxyhemoglobin) is what makes arterial blood look bright red.
