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.
