Do pulmonary arteries give blood to lungs for oxygenation of the blood and pulmonary veins take in the oxygen-rich blood and give it to the aorta to supply the blood in the whole body?

Solution

Blood circulation:
The heart is an essential organ, which spontaneously pumps nutrient-rich blood and oxygen all through the body to sustain life.
Blood carries fresh oxygen from the lungs and nutrients to the tissues of the body, apart from this, it also takes the waste products like carbon dioxide from the tissues of the body.
The pulmonary veins and pulmonary arteries refer to the vessels of the pulmonary circulation, that is, they are accountable for carrying the oxygen-rich blood to the heart from the lungs and carrying the deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the heart.
The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-enriched blood to the left atrium of the heart.
The aorta is the pulmonary artery, which transports the oxygen-rich blood to the different parts of the body from the left ventricle of the heart.

Q. Does arteries and veins, except pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, go to lungs for providing oxygenated blood/oxygen to lungs/any lung cells ? Or does it take the oxygen directly from the inhaled air instead of oxygen from blood ?

arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry dexygenated blood but when blood is transported through the body the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the auricle to the left ventricle. why does this hapen?

Q. Maam i have a query, as the pulmonary artery gives deoxy blood to lungs, and pulmonary veins deposit oxygenated blood to the heart, then don't the lungs require oxygenated blood for proper functioning?
And if they do, how do they get it?

Q. How many pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium ? And how many pulmonary arteries carry the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs?
