arterial
An epithelial tube or tree of tibes that transports blood away from the heart[modified from AEO definition].
MESH:D001158
The appearance of Chordata and subsequently the vertebrates is accompanied by a rapid structural diversification of this primitive linear heart: looping, unidirectional circulation, an enclosed vasculature, and the conduction system.[well established][VHOG]

Some arthropods have primitive arterial systems but this term refers to arteries in a true closed circulatory system.
Note that in FMA an artery is a tree, whereas AEO/JB defines it as a tube; FMA includes a separate class for what it calls the trunk. Classification in this ontology may currently (Jan 2012) represent a mix of both schemes, although we are gradually revising in the direction of the AEO scheme.
