Question

the arteries in the image appear red. what are they carrying?
a. deoxygenated blood to the body
b. oxygenated blood to the body
c. deoxygenated blood to the lungs
d. oxygenated blood to the lungs

Explanation:

Arteries (except the pulmonary artery) carry oxygenated blood. The systemic arteries in the body (not the ones going to the lungs) take oxygen - rich blood from the heart to the body tissues. The pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood (to the lungs for oxygenation). Since the question is about the general arteries in the body (as per the image which seems to be of systemic circulation), they carry oxygenated blood to the body.

Answer:

B. oxygenated blood to the body
