Answer:

Since pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood while pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood.

Explanation:

It is incorrect since it is not true for all the arteries and veins present in the body. The arteries such as the pulmonary artery deliver the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. On the other hand, the pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. Therefore, arteries carry the blood away from the heart while the veins carry the blood towards the heart.

What are tsunamis and how are they formed?
Alika [10]
A long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance. Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down. Tsunami waves are formed as the displaced water, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to find a stable position again.
