Solution

The correct option is A
oxygenated

Pulmonary veins are responsible for carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left side of the heart. This differentiates the pulmonary veins from other veins in the body, which are used to carry deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body back to the heart.

Q. Blood flowing in pulmonary vein is_______

Dear Expert,

How come de-oxygenated blood from the right ventricle and auricle flows into the pulmonary ARTERY and oxygenated blood flows from the pulmonary VEIN into the left auricle and ventricle. Doesn't that deny the fact that oxygenated blood flows in the arteries and de-oygenated blood in the veins?

If oxygenated blood flows in the artery and deoxygenated blood flows in veins then why does blood comes in the left atrium through pulmonary veins and goes out from the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery in the heart?
