Question

The only artery which carries deoxygenated blood is called

• A. Hepatic artery
• B. Pulmonary artery
• C. Aorta
• D. Renal artery

Answer 1

The correct option is B Pulmonary artery

The pulmonary arteries are a pair of blood vessels that transport deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. The pulmonary arteries are considered ''great vessels'' and are unique because they are the only arteries in the body that carry deoxygenated blood. They are essential to our cardiovascular system in that they allow deoxygenated blood pulled from the tissues to once again become oxygenated by gas exchange in the lungs. Without these vessels deoxygenated blood would be unable to become oxygenated once again and life would be unsustainable.
