Question

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
The only artery which carry deoxygenated blood is the:
A. Pulmonary artery
B. Renal artery
C. Coronary artery
D. Carotid artery

Answer 1

Hint: Blood contained in ventricles is pumped into large elastic arteries. This process will be carried out whenever required. Until, the branching results in microscopic arteries. And this shifting of blood process takes place into smaller and smaller arteries, this is called arterioles.The only artery which carries deoxygenated blood carries blood from heart to lungs.

Complete answer:
The pulmonary arteries and veins are a series of blood vessels that connect to the lungs. The pulmonary artery transports oxygen-free blood from the right ventricle to lungs for providing oxygen to blood. This oxygenated blood is returned to the systemic circulation from the pulmonary veins to the heart, i.e. for circulation in various parts of the body. So, option (A) is the correct answer.
Renal artery plays a major role in transferring the blood to the kidney and its nearby adrenal gland ureter. So, option (B) is incorrect.
The coronary artery plays a major role in supplying the blood, oxygen and nutrients to your heart. If a plaque wants to narrow these arteries by decreasing the blood flow to our heart it can do. So, option (C) is incorrect.
A pair of blood vessels present in our body which is located on both sides of your neck that deliver blood to your brain and head is called carotid arteries. So, option (D) is incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: Deoxygenated blood was carried by the Pulmonary artery from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation. Later, after converting deoxygenated blood to oxygenated blood, this oxygenated blood is carried back to the heart by the Pulmonary vein for systemic circulation i.e. for circulation to different parts of the body.
