hey friend here is your answer^^

Definition of Pulmonary Artery and Pulmonary Vein

*Pulmonary artery*: Pulmonary artery is the artery that carries deoxygenated blood pumped from right ventricle of the heart to lungs

*Pulmonary veins*: Pulmonary vein is the vein that carries oxygenated blood from lungs to the left atrium.

Characteristics of Pulmonary Artery and Pulmonary Vein

★Nature of the Blood★

*Pulmonary* artery: Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood with more metabolic wastes and high carbon dioxide concentration

*Pulmonary veins*: Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood with more oxygen and less metabolic wastes

★Anatomy★

*Pulmonary artery*: Pulmonary artery is connected to right ventricle of the heart

*Pulmonary veins*: Pulmonary vein is connected to left atrium of the heart

★Number★

*Pulmonary artery*: Pulmonary vein branches into two.

*Pulmonary veins*: Each lung has two pulmonary veins, thus four pulmonary veins in total.

A semilunar valve is only present at the beginning of the pulmonary artery.

have a nice day✌✌
