Blood cells (erythrocytes) can be oxygenated, or deoxygenated. They're both carried within your arteries and veins, with oxygenated blood going away from the heart in arteries, and deoxygenated blood going through veins. Both, oxygenated and deoxygenated can be found in arteries and veins, its just that veins will have a higher concentration of deoxygenated blood, whereas arteries will have a higher level of oxygenated blood.
Everything i said above applies to SYSTEMIC arteries. Pulmonary is different, basically arteries and veins are switched.
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood. This artery takes blood from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated again.
There are many structures that contain deoxygenated blood. Everything in venous circulation, the right hide of the heart, and the pulmonary artery all have deoxygenated blood.
The structure that is responsible for carrying deoxygentaed blood from the lungs is the right atrium. The right atrium is located inside of the right side of the heart.

What does the blood leaving the capillary contain?
Waste and deoxygenated blood
What structure in the heart separate oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood?
The structure in the heart that separates oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood is the atria. These are the two sides of the heart and are separated by the interatrial septum.
What chamber in a frog's heart contains both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
The right heart chambers (atrium and ventricle) contain deoxygenated blood. The left heart chambers contain oxygenated blood, since this blood has already been through the pulmonary system.
Do capillaries carry oxygenated blood?
Yes capillaries carry oxygenated blood :D
What colour is blood when it does not contain oxygen?
Deoxygenated blood is a darker red color compared to oxygenated blood. This is because of the lower levels of oxygen and higher levels of carbon dioxide present in deoxygenated blood.
Do vein carries oxygnated blood into the heart?
Not usually, the veins contain deoxygenated blood and the arteries contain oxygenated blood. The exception is the pulmonary vein which contains oxygenated blood from the lungs and into the heart.
What does the pulmonary artery contain?
deoxygenated blood / impure blood taken from d right ventricle of d heart.... it takes the impure blood 2 d lungs for purification/oxygenation... its the only artery tat carries deoxygenated blood.....
Is there any instance in which an artery may carry deoxygenated blood?
yes. the arteries going from the heart to the lungs contain deoxygenized blood
Does the pulmonary trunk contain oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
De-Oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery is one of the only arteries that carry de-oxygenated blood.
Which blood vessel contains least oxygen?
The pulmonary arteries contain the least oxygen as they carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
What does deoxygenated blood contain?
Deoxygenated blood contains carbon dioxide, waste products, and a lower concentration of oxygen compared to oxygenated blood. It returns to the heart and lungs to pick up oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide.
What is arteris?
The pulmonary artery is a structure that is located in the heart. Its' function is to transport deoxygenated blood from the heart to the respiratory system.
