To bring blood to the lungs for oxygenation. It's the only artery in the body where the blood is not oxygenated. The reverse is true about the Pulmonary vein.
Pulmonary function tests are a group of procedures that measure the function of the lungs, revealing problems in the way a patient breathes.
When there are clear signs of oxygen deprivation despite a strong pulse and apparent pulmonary function.

Pulmonary Function refers to the functions of the heart. And a deficit means lacking, or falling short. So a pulmonary function deficit means that the heart isn't quite up to scratch. If your heart only managed to pump 40 litres of blood per hour instead of the average 80 (example figures, don't quote me on those), then you could say that this example heart has a pulmonary function deficit.
The pulmonary vein transports oxygenated blood back to the right atrium from the lungs.
The pulmonary arteries transport deoxygenated blood to the left and right lungs.
