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.

∙ 8y agoBlood vessels leading from the heart are always called arteries. Almost all the time they have a lot of oxygen in them. But the ones going from the heart to the lungs are different. The body has to send blood high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen to the lungs to drop off carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen.
