Great arteries

The great arteries are the primary arteries that carry blood away from the heart, which include:

  • Pulmonary artery: the vessel that carries oxygen-depleted blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
  • Aorta: the blood vessel through which oxygenated blood from the left ventricle enters the systemic circulation.
