An epithelial tube or tree of tibes that transports blood away from the heart[modified from AEO definition]. |
| editor note |
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. |
