Pulmonary arteries are those which take deoxygenated blood from the RIGHT VENTRICLE to the lungs through the ALVEOLUS back to the LEFT ATRIUM. The LEFT ATRIUM receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and is pumped by the heart to the LEFT VENTRICLE and then to the rest of the body.
It is ironic that Arteries do carry oxygenated blood but PULMONARY ARTERY carries deoxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood but the PULMONARY VEIN carries oxygenated blood.

Which organ receives blood from the pulmonary arteries?
The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

The Pulmonary Artery
The path of blood flow in the vascular system?
'''Arteries, Arterioles, Capillary beds, Venules, Veins'''
Difference of pulmonary arteries to ordinary arteries?
All arteries carry oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery. Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated.
What is different about pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein originates in the heart. What is different about them is that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) as supposed to other arteries, which carry oxygenated blood. And the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood unlike other veins, which carry deoxygenated blood.
What type of blood is in the pulmonary arteries?
Deoxygenated. The blood is carried by the pulmonary arteries from the heart to the lungs to replenish the oxygen.
What is true about pulmonary artery?
Pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry unoxygenated blood.
