What makes the pulmonary artery different from all others?

It is the only artery which carries deoxygenated blood. Arteries always carry blood away from the heart (veins carry it to the heart). Therefore, most arteries will carry oxygenated blood from the heart and deliver it around the body. The pulmonary artery is taking blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated which is why it is different from other arteries.
