Overview

Great arteries is a term used to refer collectively to the primary arteries of 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.
