Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The bronchial arteries carry oxygenated blood to the lungs at a pressure six times that of the pulmonary arteries. The bronchial arteries provide nourishment to the supporting structures of the lungs, including the pulmonary arteries, but generally do not participate in gas exchange (1, 2).
Detailed explanation-3: -The left bronchial arteries usually arise directly from the thoracic aorta. The single right bronchial artery usually arises from one of the following: 1) the thoracic aorta at a common trunk with the right 3rd posterior intercostal artery. 2) the superior bronchial artery on the left side.
