It is the pulmonary arteries; which are the only arteries in the human body that carry deoxygenated blood. FYI-It is the pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart; which are the only veins in the human body to carry oxygen rich blood.he pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Oxygen rich blood from the lungs is returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein.
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart. Theyâre tough on the outside but they contain a smooth interior layer of epithelial cells that allows blood to flow easily. Arteries also contain a strong, muscular middle layer that helps pump blood through the body. Capillaries connect the arteries to veins. The arteries deliver the oxygen-rich blood to the capillaries, where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart.
