Question

Oxygenated blood is carried by

• A. Pulmonary vein
• B. Pulmonary artery
• C. Hepatic portal vein
• D. Renal vein

Answer 1

The correct option is A Pulmonary vein

Oxygenated blood is carried by pulmonary vein. The pulmonary veins are large blood vessels that receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and drain into the left atrium of the heart. There are four pulmonary veins, two from each lung. The pulmonary veins are among the few veins that carry oxygenated blood.

The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. It is one of the only arteries (other than the umbilical arteries in the fetus) that carries deoxygenated blood.
