The pulmonary arteries carry
(a) pure blood
(b) impure blood
(c) blood to kidney
(d) blood from the kidney
Correct Answer: (b) impure blood
Explanation:
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen, i.e. the blood moving towards the lungs is oxygen-poor or deoxygenated. While, the left side of the heart receives the oxygen-rich blood (or oxygenated blood) from the lungs, and pumps it to the body.The pulmonary artery is the exceptional artery that carries impure blood (deoxygenated blood) from the right ventricle to the left lung for blood purification.
