Generally arteries carry blood away from heart to all parts of body and veins carry blood from lungs to heart. But in case of pulmonary vessels the situation is reverse. Deoxygenated blood enters heart's right auricle from upper and lower parts of body through veins and then it flows into right ventricle through a valve. When the ventricle contracts, the de-oxygenated blood is pumped out of heart to lungs for re-oxygenation. Pulmonary artery is an artery because it is a vessel coming from your heart. Once the blood reaches lungs, it is reoxygenated and carried to heart through pulmonary vein. It opens into left auricle and then flows into left ventricle through a valve. Then, blood is pumped out of heart as the result of contraction of left ventricle and supplied to all parts of body. The pulmonary vein is a vein simply because it is a vessel returning to your heart. So, both pulmonary artery and pulmonary should not be understood in terms of oxygenation status, but rather in terms of blood flow in relation to heart. I have just viewed a flow diagram which further clarifies the matter. I knew about the said vessels in crude terms before the discussion. Thanks for contributing to my knowledge Asad Shafiq. Regards

Moreover, blood is oxygenated somewhere; obviously in lungs, and it will be oxygenated if it is delivered to lungs plus pulled back to heart for circulation. Both of these functions are done by the pulmonary artery and vein. N consider the definition mentioned in above post.
