The doctor told Phil, my then husband, that my condition was really bad news. They had found an artery tearing and said I could die. They said they could try to patch it up but it could go horribly wrong. It all turned out okay in the end but it was touch and go.

Artery in medical context conveys the essential nature of the vessel for life.

Vitality Implied

Arteries carry blood away from the heart, while veins return it back; don't confuse them.

Not Veins

Blood in arteries is under higher pressure than in other blood vessels.

High Pressure

Used metaphorically for main roads, implies heavy use and importance for transport.

Route Significance

Describes any key channel or network essential for distribution or communication.

Metaphorical Usage

 Here, venous blood warmed up by the shark's working muscles passes right next to arteries carrying cold, oxygen-rich blood from the gills. This arrangement transfers heat to the blood that gets cycled back to the body's vital organs. Warmer muscles enable faster, more powerful swimming, while warmer bellies aid digestion,
