In the human heart, the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary artery or main pulmonary artery) begins at the base of the right ventricle. It is short and wide - approximately 5 cm (2 inches) in length and 3 cm (1.2 inches) in diameter. It then branches into two pulmonary arteries (left and right), which deliver deoxygenated blood to the corresponding lung.

Through what valves must the blood move in order to get into the pulmonary artery?
The blood must flow through the pulmonary valve to reach the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary valve is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, allowing blood to be pumped out of the heart and into the lungs for oxygenation.
The left lung is located ipsilateral to the?

What is the similarity between pulmonary vein and pulmonary artery?
Both the pulmonary vein and pulmonary artery are blood vessels located in the pulmonary circulation system of the body. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, while the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
