The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein ________________________.
Show Hint
- Pulmonary vein = only vein carrying oxygenated blood.
- carry deoxygenated blood and oxygenated blood, respectively
- carry oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood, respectively
- both carry oxygenated blood
- both carry deoxygenated blood
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 2: The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the left atrium of the heart.
Step 3: This is an exception to the usual rule, since most arteries carry oxygenated blood and most veins carry deoxygenated blood.

- The cardiac output of a person at rest is 5 litres per minute and the mean aortic pressure is 100 mmHg.
During exercise, if the cardiac output doubles and mean aortic pressure rises to 110 mmHg, then the peripheral resistance in the systemic circulation will decrease by _______%.

- Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) is combined with an equal amount (by weight) of hydroxyapatite (HA) to make a bone scaffold. If the porosity of the scaffold is 80%, what is the scaffold density in g/cm\(^3\)? (rounded off to two decimal places)
Assume densities of PLGA and HA to be 1 g/cm\(^3\) and 3 g/cm\(^3\), respectively.- GATE BM - 2025
