Select the INCORRECT statement.

• A. Capillary endothelium provides for exchange of substances in the tissues
• B. Capillaries originate from arterioles
• C. Pulmonary artery contains oxygenated blood
• D. Vein provides minimum frictional resistance to the blood flow

Hint:

{Pulmonary artery is an exception: it carries deoxygenated blood}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding blood vessels.
Arteries, veins and capillaries have distinct structural and functional roles.
Step 2: Evaluating the statements.
Pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from heart to lungs, unlike other arteries.
Step 3: Identifying the incorrect statement.
Thus, the statement that pulmonary artery contains oxygenated blood is incorrect.
