Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries (in red) carry oxygen rich blood from the left side of the heart to the tissues and organs. After oxygen leaves the blood and moves into the tissues, the level of oxygen in the blood becomes low. The veins (in blue) carry blood that has a low level of oxygen back to the right side of the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart and therefore, the pulmonary vein is conventionally shown in red colour.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your pulmonary arteries carry blood from your heart to your lungs. They’re the only arteries in your body that carry oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood.
