Question 1 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

The pulmonary artery is the only artery that contains

Answer
A
oxygen-poor blood.
B
plasma.
C
platelets.
D
white blood cells.

Explanation

Arteries usually carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, but the pulmonary artery is an exception: it carries oxygen-poor blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Plasma, platelets, and white blood cells are found in blood generally, not uniquely in the pulmonary artery. The correct choice is oxygen-poor blood.
