The pulmonary trunk, which splits into the pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated (oxygen-poor) blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to drop off its carbon dioxide and pick up fresh oxygen.
The umbilical artery (running between the placenta and the fetus)
The artery that carries oxygenated blood is the Umbilical artery. There is also another exception which is the Plumonary artery.

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.
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.
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)
How is the pulmonary artery unique?
Its the only artery that carries oxygenated blood.
Why do arteries carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, where the hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells pick up oxygen molecules. The blood is being carried away from the heart, which classifies these vessels as arteries even though the blood does not contain oxygen.
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.
The tube that carries the vlood from the heart to the lung?
The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lung. This artery is the only one that carries deoxygenated blood.
Is oxygenated blood found in all arteries?
No, but almost. The pulmonary artery is the ONLY artery that carries deoxygenated blood.
Blood vessel taking blood to lung?
Pulmonary arteries which is the only artery which carries deoxygenated blood.
What is the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs?
The Pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries blood from the lungs to the heart. Also this means the Pulmonary Artery is the only artery in the body which carries deoxygenated blood, and the Pulmonary Vein is the only vein in the body which carries oxygenated blood.
What does the pulmonary artery contain?
deoxygenated blood / impure blood taken from d right ventricle of d heart.... it takes the impure blood 2 d lungs for purification/oxygenation... its the only artery tat carries deoxygenated blood.....
What do the arteries do to your body?
it carries oxygenated blood from the heart to all parts of the body. only the pulmonary artery contains 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.
A pulmonary artery carries blood from where to where?
All arteries carry blood from the heart to another organ in the body. The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs.
The blood flow goes from the right ventricle through the what?
Pulmonary artery-the only artery that has 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 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.
