Why is it called an artery if we does not carries o2 rich blood?
Arteries are defined as blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, regardless of the oxygen content. While most arteries transport oxygen-rich blood, such as the aorta, the pulmonary arteries are an exception, as they carry oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs. The name "artery" is based on their function of transporting blood away from the heart, not the specific type of blood they carry.

The blood in the pulmonary artery is oxygen-poor.yes all the arteries carry oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery which carry deoxigenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart towards the lungs..I don't know what arties are, but arteries carry oxygen-rich blood while veins carry CO2 rich blood.

Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated (O2-poor) blood from the heart to the lungs so the blood can be oxygenated. Remember that arteries and veins are not defined based on whether they carry O2-rich or O2-poor blood but rather the direction they carry blood. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart.
