    Arteries is a collection name. An artery is a vessel that carries (with exception of the umbilical and pulmonary arteries) oxygenated blood. The biggest artery is the aorta. There are millions of the smallest arteries, all of different size and diameter. So unless a limit is set for the specification of the minimum size of the smallest arteries to allow in the counting process, there is no answer to that question. But even than the limitation means that not all arteries are taken into account, while the question intend to do that. And that is the reason why no specific number can be provided, and why no answer to that question can be found in books or on the Internet.
    So let's keep the answer on the question of how many arteries there are in the human body on many, many millions. That is the next to nearest correct number.

    The main artery the dorsal aorhta divides and branches into smaller arteries in each part of our body so an exact count is virtually impossible.

    Several things: Marine Force Recon, Army Delta, Green Berets, Air Force Forward Air Control, and DEFINITELY Navy SEALs will not give a rat's behind where you stick that knife blade. You simply get the shank in the right place, at the right time. 'Cause they say so. At a certain point, one can get TOO technical. Remaining alive is NOT too technical to these people. They get it right.

    I Think... There are two main coronary arteries--the right coronary artery and the left coronary artery.
    The right coronary artery splits off into two more arteries, known as the right marginal artery and the posterior descending artery. The left coronary artery splits into two additional arteries as well--the circumflex artery and the left anterior descending artery. This makes six total arteries in the human heart

    The answer is what is said in your text book. Most courses, public and secondary school, will teach what their text says, even if the answer is wrong or inaccurate. It is there, it will require you to do your homework and readings.
