The Superior Vena Cava carries the collected de-oxygenated blood to where it joins the Inferior Vena Cava- which drains the lower part of the body - to form a short common vessel which enters the right atrium of the heart, passes through the Tricuspid Valve into the right ventricle, from where it is ejected through the Pulmonary Valve into the Pulmonary Artery.
---> The PULMONARY ARTERY is the only artery in the body which carries de-oxygenated blood.

Does the heart carries oxygenerated blood from the heart?
The aorta is the vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart. In contrast, the pulmonary artery is the vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart.
Why is umbilical artery called an artery when it carries oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
An artery is the vessel that carries blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery carries only deoxygenated blood after birth.
What is the vessel leaving the heart with low oxygen?
The blood vessel that carries deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood away from the heart is called the pulmonary artery. This artery carries blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and then travels back to the heart to be pumped out to the cells of the body. The best way to remember this is to remember that pulmonary means lungs and artery means a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Most arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen. The pulmonary artery is an exception.
Where the pulmonary artery originate?
Heart. It carries deoxygenated blood from Heart to the Lungs.
Which structures carry blood back to the heart?
The veins carries blood from the body to the heart.
