<P> An artery ( plural arteries ) ( from Greek ἀρτηρία ( artēria ) , meaning ' windpipe , artery ' ) is a blood vessel that takes blood from the heart to all parts of the body . Most arteries carry oxygenated blood ; the two exceptions are the pulmonary and the umbilical arteries , which carry deoxygenated blood to the organs that oxygenate it . The effective arterial blood volume is that extracellular fluid which fills the arterial system . </P>
