The vascular system is made up of vessels that vary in size depending on their location. The vessels that carry blood from and to the heart are called arteries and veins, respectively.

Which vessel leaves the right ventricle of the heart to take oxygen-poor

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Pulmonary artery

Explanation:

The pulmonary artery delivers oxygen poor blood to the lungs that comes from the right ventricle of the heart. The pulmonary artery is also the only artery in the body that carries unoxugenated blood. When the blood goes to the lungs, it picks up oxygen and drops off carbon dioxide to be expelled from the body. The pulmonary vein then takes the oxygen-rich blood and brings it back to the heart.
