Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Arteries ____
A
carry oxygenated blood except the pulmonary artery
B
permit the exchange of materials
C
carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary veins
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries generally carry oxygenated blood. But pulmonary artery is the artery that transmits deoxygenated blood away from the heart to the organs (like lungs and placenta, respectively) where it gets oxygenated. So, the right option is C i.e. Pulmonary.

Detailed explanation-2: -Except Pulmonary artery, all arteries carry oxygenated blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Arteries are attached directly to the heart and are in charge of taking oxygenated blood (pure blood) away from the heart to fuel the tissues throughout the body. This is true for all arteries except the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood back from the lungs.
