Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A crucial difference is that your pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor (deoxygenated) blood, while your aorta carries oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood. In fact, your pulmonary arteries are the only arteries in your body that carry oxygen-poor blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pulmonary valve opens at the systolic phase of the cardiac cycle enabling the deoxygenated blood to be pumped from the right ventricle to the pulmonary circulation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The tricuspid heart valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle and allows deoxygenated blood to flow between them.
