The pulmonary artery carries oxygenated blood. You can remember this easily because all ARTERIES carry oxygenated blood and all VIENS carry deoxygenated blood.

Why is umbilical artery called an artery when it carries oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
An artery is the vessel that carries blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery carries only deoxygenated blood after birth.
Why the pulmonary veins carrying the oxygenated blood and not the pulmonary artery?
it's a pulmonary VEIN because the blood isn't under as much pressure (because it has yet to get to the heart) where as the pulmonary artery is coming straight from the heart so is under more pressure. (the pressure is caused by the heart's contractions)
What are the vessels of the heart that carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
The pulmonary vein brings in oxygenated blood from the lungs through the left atrium and ventricle up into the aorta which then carries the oxygenated blood through the body. The vena cava (main vein) on the right side carries deoxygenated blood through the right atrium through the right ventricle up into the pulmonary artery, which carries the deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygenated again. The pulmonary artery is the only artery to carry deaoxygenated blood.
Only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood?
The only artery that is supposed to carry deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery. It carried deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation. Any artery can carry deoxygenated blood, so be careful how you word questions.
Which vessels carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart?
Pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle.
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.
Does the pulmonary trunk contain oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
De-Oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery is one of the only arteries that carry de-oxygenated blood.
Does the pulmonary artery contains oxygenated blood?
The pulmonary artery contains deoxygenated blood. It is going to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
How does the plumonary artery and the pulmonary vein differ from all other blood vessels?
pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood and pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood
Why is umbilical artery called an artery when it carries oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
An artery is the vessel that carries blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery carries only deoxygenated blood after birth.
Is oxygenated blood found in all arteries?
No, but almost. The pulmonary artery is the ONLY artery that carries deoxygenated blood.
Why the pulmonary veins carrying the oxygenated blood and not the pulmonary artery?
it's a pulmonary VEIN because the blood isn't under as much pressure (because it has yet to get to the heart) where as the pulmonary artery is coming straight from the heart so is under more pressure. (the pressure is caused by the heart's contractions)
What artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Arteries probably CAN carry deoxygenated blood if a person draws blood from a vein, then injects it into an artery. That would be very stupid though.
Are arteries oxygenated?
No. As arteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, they regularly tend to have oxygenated blood. But in pulmonary circulation, the pulmonary artery carries de oxygenated blood from the heart to both the left and right lungs. Pulmonary artery is an artery that carries de oxygenated blood.
Ateries carry oxgen rich or poor blood?
Arteries carry oxygenated(oxygen rich blood) and veins carry deoxygenated blood. But pulmonary artery carry deoxygenated blood and pulmonary vein carry oxygenated blood.
Do arteries carry oxygenated blood or oxygenated blood?
All arteries carry oxygenated blood with the exception of the pulmonary artery from the right side of the heart to the lungs, which does not. Yes. Most arterial blood is oxygenated. There are two exceptions to that rule. One is the pulmonary artery which carries deoxygenated blood. The other is the umbilical vein which also carries deoxygenated blood.
What are the vessels of the heart that carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
The pulmonary vein brings in oxygenated blood from the lungs through the left atrium and ventricle up into the aorta which then carries the oxygenated blood through the body. The vena cava (main vein) on the right side carries deoxygenated blood through the right atrium through the right ventricle up into the pulmonary artery, which carries the deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygenated again. The pulmonary artery is the only artery to carry deaoxygenated blood.
