I believe the correct answer is the pulmonary artery.

The pulmonary circulation starts from the pulmonary artery that receives blood from the right ventricle. The artery then take the blood to the lungs where oxygen is added and carbon dioxide is removed then taken back to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein, into the left ventricle and back to the tissues via the aorta.

Circulation is divided into systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation. Pulmonary circulation supplies the blood that has waste and carbon dioxide to the lungs where oxygen is added after carbon dioxide is removed. The blood from tissues is picked up by capillary bed in the superior region of the body that includes the neck, chest and head and supplied to the superior vena cava and the lower regions including the limbs, pelvic region and the abdomen are picked up by capillary beds and supplied to the inferior vena cava. Both these veins take the blood to the right atrium of the heart that then passes the blood to the right ventricles and the right ventricle pumps the blood to the pulmonary artery that is the only artery in the body that carries de-oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries the blood and distributes it to capillaries in the lung tissues that then allow the diffusion of carbon dioxide into the alveoli of the lungs and then out of the body while oxygen is dissolved and diffused across the alveoli membrane into the waiting capillaries. The diffused blood with oxygen in the other bed of capillaries feeds the pulmonary vein. This vein takes the oxygenated blood away from the lungs into the left atrium that then pumps the blood into the left ventricle which supplies the whole of the body with oxygenated blood via the aorta that divides into several branches that supplies supply capillaries which in turn supply the tissues that need oxygenated blood.

Answer:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 48 million Americans get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die each year from food poisoning.

Bacteria, viruses and parasites are the sources of many food poisoning cases, usually due to improper food handling. Some bacteria, in small amounts, are not harmful to most healthy adults because the human body is equipped to fight them off. The trouble begins when certain bacteria and other harmful pathogens multiply and spread, which can happen when food is mishandled. Foods that are contaminated may not look, taste or smell any different from foods that are safe to eat. Symptoms of food poisoning vary and develop as quickly as 30 minutes to as long as several days after eating food that's been infected.

As identified by the CDC, eight known pathogens (bacteria, viruses and parasites) account for the majority of foodborne illness, hospitalization and death in the United States.

Salmonella

Salmonella is the name of a group of bacteria that causes the infection salmonellosis. It is one of the most common bacterial causes of diarrhea and the most common cause of foodborne-related hospitalizations and deaths. Salmonella is more severe in pregnant women, older adults, younger children and those with a weakened immune system. Because Salmonella bacteria can live in the intestinal tract of humans and other animals, it can spread easily unless you use proper hygiene and appropriate cooking methods.

Sources: You can contract salmonellosis by consuming raw and undercooked eggs, undercooked poultry and meat, contaminated raw fruits and vegetables (such as sprouts and melons), as well as raw milk and other dairy products that are made with unpasteurized milk. It also can be transmitted through contact with infected animals or infected food handlers who have not washed their hands after using the bathroom.
