It is called a artery because arteries are vessels that stem from the heart and deliver blood to the organs. The pulmonary artery is still an artery, even though it carries deoxygenated blood, because it is coming from the heart to the lungs.
Veins collect blood from organs and transport it back to the heart. Veins do not have a pulsating pressure, while arteries do, because arteries are still feeling the rhythmic push from the heart.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. They usually contain oxygen rich blood, except for the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
Veins carry blood to the heart. They usually contain deoxygenated blood, but the pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood (because they're coming from the lungs).
Arteries take blood away from heart. Pulmonary arteries go from the heart (hence they're an artery) to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Most arteries carry oxygenated blood but they shouldn't be defined by what they carry but instead by where they travel from.
Because the pulmonary artery runs from the heart to the lungs with blood that has already been to the cells of the body and offloaded its oxygen. The blood returns to the lungs to pick up a fresh supply of O2.
An artery is any vessel taking blood away from the heart, irrespective of whether it carries oxygenated or deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary arteries take deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs.
The pulmonary artery carries blood returning fron the body to the heart to the lungs where it will be oxygenated. As there is no oxygenation before the lungs, the blood in that artery must be deoxygenated.
Because this blood is being pumped away from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Arteries all pump blood out of the heart.
An artery carries blood away from the heart. (Relatively) high pressure blood flow coming from the heart.
The structure is the same, notwithstanding the condition of the blood.
Because it carry blood away from heart
Pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry unoxygenated blood.
The pulmonary arteries deliver blood to the lungs from the heart so it can be oxygenated.
Deoxygenated blood travels through the veins called the inferior vena cava and superior vena cave into the right atrium. Blood flows from the right atrium, through a valve and into the right ventricle and into the pulmonary arteries. From the pulmonary arteries the blood is carried to the lungs. So the answer is pulmonary artery.
The Pulmonary arteries
yes
The aorta and the one to the lungs called the pulmonary arteries. However, the pulmonary first branch off of the pulmonary trunk.
There are 2 pulmonary arteries.
The pulmonary arteries. They are called arteries because they leave the heart but they are UNLIKE the other arteries because they have a lack of oxygen.
The Pulmonary Artery
the pulmonary vein?
The have the prefix "pulmonary".
All arteries carry oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery. Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated.
Pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins are two different items. The pulmonary artery takes deoxygenated blood from the heart and into the lungs so that the blood can be oxygenated. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart, via the pulmonary veins, in order to be pumped into the system circulation.
Pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry unoxygenated blood.
The pulmonary arteries deliver blood to the lungs from the heart so it can be oxygenated.
the two pulmonary arteries lead to hogwarts and narnia.
The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
