A pulmonary artery is an artery in the pulmonary circulation that carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. The largest pulmonary artery is the main pulmonary artery or pulmonary trunk from the heart, and the smallest ones are the arterioles, which lead to the capillaries that surround the pulmonary alveoli.

2 What does the aorta do?
The aorta is the largest artery in your body and is connected directly to the heart and it also carries the blood to the rest of your body and disperses the blood to the branches of other arteries extended off the aorta.
Main artery in the neck?
The are two paired arteries that supply the head. You have the carotid arteries (where you take your pulse in the neck). There are also paired vertebral arteries that run up through the transverse foramen in the cervical vertebrae.
Were does blood travel after leaving the right side of the heart?
After blood leaves the left ventricle, it goes through the aortic valve to be pumped throughout the body.
What are the differences between an artery and a vein?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the other parts of the body. Arteries also have thicker walls as the blood pressure is much higher having a closer proximity to the heart. Veins carry the blood back from the other areas of the body to the heart. Simply put, an artery carries blood out of the heart, and a vein carries blood into the heart.
What is the path of blood from the heart to the left big toe?
bicuspid valve-->left ventricle of heart-->aortic valve-->ascending aorta--> aortic arch-->thoracic aorta-->abdominal aorta-->right common iliac artery and /or left common iliac artery (abdominal aorta splits to form right and left common iliac arteries, adjust for which leg you follow) -->right external iliac artery -->right femoral artery -->right popliteal artery-->right anterior tibial artery-->right dorsal pedis artery-->right arcuate artery-->right dorsal metatarsal artery-->right dorsal digital artery-->arteriole-->capillary-->venule-->right dorsal digital vein-->right dorsal metatarsal vein-->right dorsal venous arch-->right great saphenous vein-->right femoral vein-->right external iliac vein-->right common iliac vein-->Inferior vena cava-->right atrium of the heart-->tricuspid valve system is highly interconnected and alternative routes can be followed within the arteries and veins of the lower limbs
What blood vessel gives rise to the marginal artery and posterior interventricular artery?
They branch off from the right coronary artery which arises from the aorta.
What is the main vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the upper limb?
The main vessel that supplies oxygenated blood to the upper limb is the subclavian artery. This artery branches off from the aortic arch in the chest and continues into the upper limb where it gives off smaller branches to provide blood supply to the arm and hand.
What kind of vessel gives blood to a capillary?
Either a arteriole on the artery side or a venule on the vein side of the bed.
What transprots arterial blood to the kidney?
Renal artery or renal columns--- the arterial supply of each kidney is the renal artery. As the renal artery approaches the hilum, it divides into segmental arteries, each of which gives off several branchel called interlobar arteries, which travel through the renal columns to reach the cortex.
How does the blood get into the heart?
By the arteries pumping the blood into the heart. The Blood gets to the heat by the Aortic vale, the artery that gives the lung oxygenated blood.
2 What does the aorta do?
The aorta is the largest artery in your body and is connected directly to the heart and it also carries the blood to the rest of your body and disperses the blood to the branches of other arteries extended off the aorta.
Why do you need to stop the flow of blood if someone cuts an artery?
Arteries are what carry the blood to the heart, which supply your heart brain and other functions. When it's cut, you start to lose the nutrients that's supplied, nd if you lose too much blood it results in unconsiousness and death. By stopping the flow of blood, it stops the blood from leaving the body, which gives the artery time to heal.
Gives rise to the right common carotid and right subclavian artery?
brachiocephalic artery
Which material gives strength to an artery?
inelastic protein
What carries blood to the intestine?
The small intestine has 3 parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The large intestine starts on the right with the ascending colon proceeds across the body as the transverse colon and then goes down on the left side of the body as the descending colon. The descending colon becomes the sigmoid colon. The rectum and anal canal follow. The celiac trunk gives off the common hepatic artery, which branches into the proper hepatic artery and the gastroduodenal artery. The gastroduodenal artery gives off the supraduodenal, retroduodenal, anterior and posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries. These 4 arteries supply the duodenum. The superior mesenteric artery branches into several different arteries. The anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries supply the duodenum. Intestinal arteries have a complex network of arcades that feed the jejunum and ileum. The ileocecal artery off the SMA gives off branches to the terminal ileum and the cecum. The right colic artery supplies the ascending colon. The inferior mesenteric artery branches into the middle colic artery, which supplies the transverse colon; the left colic artery, which supplies the descending colon; the sigmoid artery, to the sigmoid colon; rectosigmoid artery, in between the rectum and the sigmoid colon; superior rectal artery, to the uppermost part of the rectum.
