The Pulmonary Artery is the only artery in the body to carry deoxygenated blood from the Heart to the lungs where it "picks up" Oxygen and "Drops off" Carbon dioxide by the process of Diffusion through the 1 cell thick air sacks in the lungs. The Pulmonary Vein is the only vein then to bring oxygenated blood anywhere in the body, the oxygenated blood goes to the Left hand side of the heart (think about it as if you were personally looking down at your own heart, not as a diagram) then the left hand side of the heart pumps it around the body through the aorta.

What connect the heart to the lungs?

How is the pulmonary artery located compared to the pulmonary vein?

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.
What the differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
The pulmonary artery takes blood from the right ventricle into the lungs; the pulmonary vein collects blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart.
