Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When blood is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs, carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen. The pulmonary arteries carry the blood that has been pumped from the right side of the heart to the lungs for the oxygenation which is returned back to the left atrium by the pulmonary veins.
