The only artery in the human body that carries deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery. It transports blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, where the blood is oxygenated. This is in contrast to other arteries, which typically carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. The pulmonary veins then return the oxygenated blood to the heart.

What is different about pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein originates in the heart. What is different about them is that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) as supposed to other arteries, which carry oxygenated blood. And the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood unlike other veins, which carry deoxygenated blood.
What is the sole artery that does not carry oxygenated blood?
The Superior and Inferior Vena Cava do not carry oxygenated blood to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs, which may seem odd since it's called a vein- but vessels leading TO the heart are called veins and vessels travelleing FROM the heart are called arteries.
Name the blood vessels that carry oxygen poor blood away from the heart?
Arteries always carry blood from the heart. In this case, the artery is the aorta.
Is venous blood deoxygenated?
No, it is oxygenated. Pulmonary veins are the only veins in the human body that carry oxygenated blood.
What is a artery the human body?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
What do you call an important blood vessel?
The main blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the vital organs, including the brain, are called ARTERIES; those that carry deoxygenated blood away from the vital organs and to the lungs (to be replenished with oxygen) are called VEINS. The biggest artery in the human body is the AORTA, a central pipeline that runs vertically up through the body to the brain.
What is the largest artery that carries oxygen-rich blood?
Well there are more then a hundred arteries in the Human body and as you know all of them carry oxygenated blood, (with the exception of the Pulmonary artery.) So you will have to specify you question a bit more
What is a blood artery?
There are three varieties of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries. During blood circulation, the arteries carry blood away from the heart. The capillaries connect the arteries to veins. Finally, the veins carry the blood back to the heart
What are characteristics of blood?
Three types of blood vessels are found in the human body: arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries typically carry oxygenated blood away from the heart with the exception of the pulmonary arteries, which carry deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels and they allow various substances such as oxygen, carbon dioxide and nutrients, to pass from the bloodstream into the tissues of the body.
What are human arteries?
Arteries are the major blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Except for the pulmonary arteries which go from the atrium to the lungs, arteries carry oxygenated blood. The veins bring blood back into the heart. Except for the pulmonary veins that connect the lungs to the ventricles of the heart, veins carry deoxygenated blood.
What do human arteries do?
Arteries are the major blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Except for the pulmonary arteries which go from the atrium to the lungs, arteries carry oxygenated blood. The veins bring blood back into the heart. Except for the pulmonary veins that connect the lungs to the ventricles of the heart, veins carry deoxygenated blood.
