Do pulminary arteries carry oxygentaed or deoxygenated blood from the heart?

Pulmonary arteries transport dehydrogenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Arteries always go away from the heart. Arteries have thicker wall to handle to pressure of the heart during the contractions.

Veins and arteries are in the circulatory system. Therefore that means they have something to do with pumping blood to cells around the body. So I would say that the role the arteries play in the body is that it carries blood to and from the heart to other parts of the body


Why don't veins have to be as strong as arteries?

They don't need to be as strong as the arteries because as blood is returned to the heart, it is under less pressure. Blood in arteries is under intense pressure from the heart, which is a pump.
