∙ 6y agoThe pulmonary arteries transport deoxygenated blood to the left and right lungs. And interesting fact is that the pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry deoxygenated blood. All other arteries deliver blood, enriched with oxygen and other nutrients to our body's tissues. Conversely, the pulmonary veins transport oxygenated blood from the left and right lungs to the heart, while all other veins carry deoxygenated blood and waste products.
