Detailed explanation-2: -Your pulmonary veins are the only veins in your body that carry oxygen-rich blood. All your other veins carry oxygen-poor blood. Similarly, your pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that carry oxygen-poor blood. All the rest of your arteries carry oxygen-rich blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The pulmonary arteries are the only arteries that contain oxygen-poor blood because it carries blood into the lungs to be oxygenated. By definition, arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood to the heart.
