Why is the pulmonary artery a vessel not a vein?

The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation, while veins typically carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The pulmonary artery is specifically structured to withstand high pressure from the heart's pumping action as it sends blood to the lungs, unlike veins that have thinner walls and lower pressure.
