NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Correct Answer is Option 4, i.e. Pulmonary artery. Pulmonary artery does NOT carry oxygenated blood in the human body. The pulmonary artery takes deoxygenated blood into the lungs from the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs i.e., away from heart so it is called an artery even though it carries deoxygenated blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The function of the pulmonary arteries is to transport the deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it can be reoxygenated through diffusion. They are still called arteries because they transport blood away from the heart, regardless of whether or not the blood is deoxygenated or oxygenated.
