Full example of schema.org/Artery json-ld markup

The markup is verified as valid with Rich Results Test from Google.

schema.org/Artery
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Artery",
  "name": "Left anterior descending artery",
  "arterialBranch": [
    { "@type": "AnatomicalStructure", "name": "Diagonal branches" },
    { "@type": "AnatomicalStructure", "name": "Septal perforators" }
  ],
  "supplyTo": { "@type": "AnatomicalStructure", "name": "Anterior left ventricle and interventricular septum" }
}
</script>

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid Artery entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

Google rich results this unlocks

Artery is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). Artery becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common Artery mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

    Artery + Vein mixed up

    Wrong
    Artery type on a returning vessel
    Right
    Arteries carry blood away from the heart; Veins return. Direction matters.

    The two types are sibling Vessel subtypes specifically to preserve direction.
