brachail artery
Femoral
After the drawing of an arterial sample, the artery should immediately be compressed for a minimum of one minute to two minutes to prevent a hematoma.
No Blood gases are measured to determine the oxygen concentration in the arterial blood. Therefore the blood must be drawn from an artery.

The thin membranes are surrounded by blood vessels, enabling easy gas exchange.
When the right ventricle contracts it is pushes blood to the pulmonary arteries and to the capillaries of the lungs where exchange of gases takes place
They're both blood vessels. But unlike a artery which carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, the veins carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart where it can exchange gases in the lungs later. Also, veins have valves (to prevent blood flowing backwards) where as arteries generally do not.
skin puncture blood is only partly
Much like the systemic circulation, but at a lower pressure: Blood flows from the right ventricle through pulmonary artery to lungs where the gases are exchanged to pulmonary vein to left atria.
When oxygen enters our heart and into our lungs,it passes through tubes called alveoli .It then carries oxgen into the blood vessel,artery and carbon dioxide would then be carried out through our body.
Since one of the ideas of an arterial line is to check on blood gases (O2 saturation mainly), placing a line in the pulmonary artery would counteract this idea. Arteries are called such since they carry blood AWAY from the heart, etc.
The pulmonary artery is unique. Normally, arteries carry arterial blood, i.e. fully oxygenated blood (rich with oxygen). The pulmonary artery, on the other hand, carries venous blood, which is deoxygenated (depleted of oxygen). It takes that deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, where the exchange of gases occurs: carbon dioxide is expelled from the blood into the alveoli (functional and anatomical units of lung tissue), and oxygen is absorbed from the alveoli into the blood. After that exchange, the oxygen rich blood (oxygenated) returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins, and then the heart pumps it out through the aorta, sending the oxygen to the whole body.
