The pulmonary artery is a major blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen during respiration. Unlike most arteries that carry oxygenated blood, the pulmonary artery is unique in its function, playing a crucial role in the pulmonary circulation process. It branches into the left and right pulmonary arteries, directing blood to each lung for gas exchange.
