Show answer and solution
Answer: (D) pulmonary artery
The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood back to the left atrium, the aorta distributes oxygenated blood to the body, and the vena cava brings deoxygenated blood to the right atrium.
