Answer:

An artery (plural arteries) (from Greek ἀρτηρία (artēria) 'windpipe, artery')[1] is a blood vessel that takes blood away from the heart to one or more parts of the body (tissues, lungs, brain etc.). Most arteries carry oxygenated blood; the two exceptions are the pulmonary and the umbilical arteries, which carry deoxygenated blood to the organs that oxygenate it (lungs and placenta, respectively). The effective arterial blood volume is that extracellular fluid which fills the arterial system.

Answer:

The blood in the arteries flow under considerable pressure, hence, any damage to these vessels would result in immediate blood loss (exsanguination). This can become life-threatening if prolonged. Therefore, arteries are deep-seated to prevent any damage from occurring.
