Arteries (from Greek á¼ÏÏÎ·ÏÎ¯Î± (artÄria) , meaning windpipe, artery) are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. While most arteries carry oxygenated blood, there are two exceptions to this, the pulmonary and the umbilical arteries.fter travelling from the aorta, blood travels through peripheral arteries into smaller arteries called arterioles, and eventually to capillaries. Arterioles help in regulating blood pressure by the variable contraction of the smooth muscle of their walls, and deliver blood to the capillaries.
Blood Vessels There are five general classes of blood vessels in the cardio-vascular system: arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins (see Figure 5â5). Arteries are elastic vessels that are very strong, able to carry blood away from the heart under high pressure.rteries: Elastic vessels able to carry blood away from the heart under high pressure. Arterioles: Subdivisions of arteries; they are thinner and have muscles that are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. Atria: The upper chambers of the heart; they receive blood returning to the heart.
