The Pulmonary _______ Deliver Blood to the Lungs

Question

The pulmonary _______ deliver blood to the lungs.
A) veins
B) venules
C) arteries
D) capillaries

Accepted Answer

The pulmonary arteries are the vessels that deliver deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. Once the blood reaches the lungs, it becomes oxygenated and is then returned to the heart via the pulmonary veins. Veins carry blood towards the heart, while arteries carry blood away from the heart, so answer choice C ("arteries") is the correct answer here.
