Answer:

arteries

Step-by-step explanation:

arteries are blood vessels that function to drain oxygen-rich blood. from the heart to the whole body

Arteriosclerosis is hardening of the arteries due to a buildup of plaque on the hardened artery walls. Arteries can make blood flow to organs not smooth so that it interferes with the function of these organs.
