As blood is pushed out of the heart, pressure waves are felt in the arteries. One can experience this as a "pulse." The walls of arteries are significantly thicker than those of veins as a result of this pressure.
In humans and the majority of other animals, an artery is a blood vessel that transports blood from the heart to one or more areas of the body (tissues, lungs, brain etc.). The umbilical and pulmonary arteries, which transport deoxygenated blood to the organs that oxygenate it, are the two exceptions to the rule that most arteries deliver oxygenated blood (lungs and placenta, respectively). The extracellular fluid that fills the arterial system is the effective arterial blood volume.
