Do arteries lead from the heart or to the heart?

For the most part, yes. A vein carries blood to the heart and an artery carries blood away from the heart. Therefore, the vessel from the heart to the lungs is an artery, even though it is unoxygenated, and the vessel from the lungs to the heart is a vein, even though it is oxygenated.


Why does the pulmonary artery bring blood to the heart when all the other arteries carry blood away from the heart?

It does not. Arteries bring blood away from the heart and veins bring blood to the heart. In the case of the pulmonary artery, it takes un-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Oxygenated blood from the lungs is then returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein.


Blood is carried away from the heart in arteries or veins?

It depends. The blood that is being carried away from to the body is oxygenated blood and the blood that is being carried away from the heart and heading towards the lungs is called deoxgenated blood. OXYGENATED blood has a high percentage of oxygen and deoxygenated blood has a low percentage of oxygen.
