Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body. They are part of the circulatory system and are essential for maintaining proper blood flow and delivering nutrients and oxygen to tissues and organs. Research in the field of arteries focuses on studying the function and structure of these blood vessels, as well as the diseases and conditions that can affect them, such as atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and arterial stenosis. Scientists and healthcare professionals are also interested in developing new treatments and interventions to improve the health and function of arteries and prevent or treat diseases that affect them.
