Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries divide like tree branches until they are slender. The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle. The only artery that picks up deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery, which runs between the heart and lungs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Pulmonary Arteries These are the only arteries that carry deoxygenated blood, and are considered arteries because they carry blood away from the heart. The short, wide vessel branches into the left and right pulmonary arteries that deliver deoxygenated blood to the respective lungs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Veins. These are blood vessels that take blood back to the heart; this blood contains less oxygen and is rich in waste products that are to be excreted or removed from the body.
