artery
An artery is a muscular-walled tube forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body. Metaphorically, it refers to a major route in a network, such as a main road or river, that is vital for transportation or communication.
