Answer:

Carries oxygen poor blood from the heart to the lungs

Step-by-step explanation:

The pulmonary artery carries blood that is low in oxygen from the heart to the lungs, where it receives oxygen. Though it is an artery, because it carries blood away from the heart, it is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood, and would be color coded blue on diagrams
