(i) This is because pulmonary artery carries blood away from the heart and not towards it like a vein does.
(ii) Since the blood flow through arteries rapidly at high pressure, the arteries have thick elastic walls.
(iii) The red blood cells contain a red pigment called haemoglobin. The presence of haemoglobin makes blood appear red.
