Single correct option

Which blood vessel brings oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart?
  1. A. Pulmonary artery
  2. B. Vena cava
  3. C. Aorta
  4. D. Pulmonary vein
Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) Pulmonary vein

The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. This is an exception to the rule that veins carry deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs, the vena cava returns deoxygenated blood to the right atrium, and the aorta takes oxygenated blood to the body.
