The pulmonary artery carries oxygen deficient blood. Blood that returns to the heart passes through the right atrium and ventricle, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs where gas exchange occurs.

Subsequently, oxygen rich blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary vein. Blood then passes through the left atrium and ventricle, and out to the systemic circulation.
