Solution

Arteries

Arteries are a type of blood vessel (tube-like structure) that carries blood away from the heart to different parts or tissues of the body. Most arteries carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery.

Pulmonary Artery

Pulmonary artery is the artery that originates from the right ventricle. It is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of heart to the lungs.

Therefore, the artery that carries deoxygenated blood is pulmonary artery.
