Question

Do pulmonary arteries carry oxygenated blood?

Answer 1

Pulmonary artery:

1. The pulmonary artery transports oxygen-depleted blood from the right ventricle to the lungs, where it is oxygenated.
2. The pulmonary veins transport oxygenated blood to the left atrium.
3. The aorta transports oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the body.
4. The pulmonary arteries transport blood from the heart's right side to the lungs.
5. The term "pulmonary" refers to something that affects the lungs.
6. Thus, oxygenated blood does not go through the pulmonary arteries.
