Solution

Arteries:

  1. Arteries are blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood to the entire body.
  2. They are tube-like vessels.
  3. The pulmonary artery is an exception as it carries blood poor in oxygen away from the heart instead of a vein.
  4. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood to the heart, hence is an exception.
