A vessel is identified as an artery even though it carries blood with little oxygen. Which feature justifies that name?

  2. It carries blood away from the heart regardless of oxygen content.Bonne réponse
  3. It always carries oxygen-rich blood.
  4. It contains the smallest vessels in the body.

Vessels are named by the direction in which they carry blood relative to the heart. Oxygen content cannot define an artery because the pulmonary artery carries blood with little oxygen toward the lungs.
