Częsty błąd:
Learners often confuse 'artery' with 'vein'. An artery carries blood away from the heart, usually with more pressure and oxygen, while a vein carries blood back to the heart. Another mistake is using 'artery' for any tube in the body, including airways; for air, use 'airway' or 'trachea', not 'artery'.

Learners sometimes think 'artery' in this sense is only for roads, but it can also describe rivers, railways, or other important routes. Some also overuse it in everyday talk where 'street' or 'road' is more natural; 'artery' sounds more formal and is common in news or reports, not casual conversation about any small street.
