The arteries pump the blood away from the heart.

A good way to remember this is the A in arteries and away.

The arteries always take out blood from the heart. They allow blood to flow into the lungs to have carried blood to be re-oxygenated. Arteries also flow towards organs and tissues to allow blood be stripped of oxygen.

Arteries also play a vital role in controlling the normal blood pressure which if shifts from the normal value can lead to a number of disorders like cerebral ischemia, cardiac failure, hemorrhage etc.

I cannot stress enough how many people get this wrong. Arteries do NOT mean they carry oxygenated blood. Arteries can carry either oxygenated blood (e.g. aorta) or de-oxygenated blood (pulmonary artery).

Artery simply refers to the direction in which blood is flowing. In this case, it means it is flowing away from the heart.

Veins mean it is flowing toward the heart
arteries carry blood away from the heart.
To transport oxygenated blood though the system and into the veins to be oxygenated.
The arteries' main functions are to carry blood (mainly erythrocytes, leukocytes, thrombocytes, and plasma) throughout the body. The blood carries oxygen, fights pathogens, clots blood, and maintains body temperature.
