True. The pulmonary arteries carries blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs, where it becomes oxygenated and is returned to the heart via the pulmonary veins for distribution to the body.

True. The pulmonary arteries are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood, carrying it away from the right side of the heart to the lungs. It will return to the heart through the pulmonary veins, the only veins which carry oxygenated blood.

pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood thats true.
The pulmonary arteries carry blood from the heart to the lungs. They are the only arteries (other than umbilical arteries in the fetus) that carry deoxygenated blood.
In the human heart, the pulmonary trunk (pulmonary artery or main pulmonary artery) begins at the base of the right ventricle. It is short and wide - approximately 5 cm (2 inches) in length and 3 cm (1.2 inches) in diameter. It then branches into two pulmonary arteries (left and right), which deliver deoxygenated blood to the corresponding lung.

True. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Because it's at the lungs CO2 is exchanged for O2 it's only logical these pulmonary arteries will be carrying depleted blood.
