Which vessel in the heart receives deoxygenated blood? a. Aorta b. Pulmonary Vein c. Vena Cava d. Pulmonary Artery

Answer 1

B. Pulmonary Artery

As a general rule, all Arteries in an adult human carry oxygenated blood. (Away from heart)

Veins (think venir "to come" in Spanish) will carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The exception to this is the pulmonary vessels as the pulmonary veins bring back freshly oxygenated blood exchanged at the lungs. Hope it helps!

Answer 2

The only major artery to receive deoxyengated blood in the body is the pulmonary artery. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery will carry blood away from the heart, to the lungs, so it can pick up oxygen.

Related to that the Pulmonary vein the only major vein vessel which carries oxygenated blood to the heart.
