Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart so it can travel to the various organs and be used. However the pulmonary artery is an exception as it carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs to gain oxygen. Otherwise the others only carry oxygenated blood :)

What make the pulmonary arteries unique among arteries?
they are the only arteries that carry de-oxygenated blood.
Do arteries never carry oxygen-rich blood?
Arteries almost always carry oxygen rich blood. The only exception is the pulmonary artery.
Does the pulmonary trunk contain oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
De-Oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery is one of the only arteries that carry de-oxygenated blood.
Which type of blood vessels will oxygenated blood be found?
Arteries (except for the Pulmonary artery (which caries ed-oxygenated blood) and pulmonary vein (which carries oxygenated blood ))
What does The pulmonary arteries carrry?
They are unique as they are the only arteries to carry de-oxygenated blood, they do this from the heart to the lungs.

yes
In the differences between veins and arteries it says veins 'rarely' pulsate 'mainly' carry deoxygenated blood one vein is different from the rest which one?
Viens do not have a pulse, but they do have valves that arteries do not. Most veins carry oxygenated blood toward the heart. The only exception is the pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood to the left atrium of the heart. The same is true for arteries. They carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the rest of the body except the lungs. The pulmonary arteries are the only exception because they carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
What is the largest artery that carries oxygen-rich blood?
Well there are more then a hundred arteries in the Human body and as you know all of them carry oxygenated blood, (with the exception of the Pulmonary artery.) So you will have to specify you question a bit more
What veins carry oxygenated blood?
The only veins in an adult that carry oxygenated blood are the pulmonary veins, which carry blood from the lungs to the heart after it has been oxygenated. All other veins in the body carry relatively de-oxygenated blood.However in fetal circulation, the umbilical vein also carries oxygenated blood.Otherwise, arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body from the aorta and heart.
What makes the pulmonary artery different from all the other arteries?
The pulmonary artery runs from the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery that doesn't carry oxygenated blood. That makes it a darker red than the blood in other arteries, so it looks blue under your skin.
What are the blood vessels that Carry?
The pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs, are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood.
What is the only artery carrying blood rich in oxygen?
Pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries non-oxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood.
