No. All veins are carry de-oxygenated blood. Veins carry de-oxygenated blood to the heart so that the heart in turn can pump that de-oxygenated blood to the lungs where they will become oxygenated.

∙ 13y agoMost veins carry deoxygenated blood. The exceptions, veins carrying oxygenated blood, are the pulmonary vein which returns blood from the lungs to the heart, the portal vein which brings blood to the liver, and the umbilical vein that carries blood from the fetus to the mother's placenta.
The word deoxygenation makes it sound as if there is no oxygen in the blood when in reality the blood in the views still has 40% of the oxygen that was in the arties still in it. The body does not use all the partial pressure of oxygen from the blood in one or even two passes. If venous blood contained no oxygen, nobody would be able to hold his or her breath longer than one complete cycle of the blood, about one minute. The PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) in the blood leaving the lungs is about 100 mm Hg; after entering the veins the PO2 is about 40 mm Hg.

yes. veins carry de-oxygenated blood back from parts of the body towards the heart where it is pumped to the lungs. arteries carry oxgenated blood away from the heart towards parts of the body
Which artery does not carry oxgenated blood?
Pulmonary
Which chamber of the heart receives de-oxgenated blood from the body?
the right atrium
When oxgenated blood comes into the heart which chamber does it fill?
Oxygenated blood returning from the lungs flow into the left atrium.
Is oxygenated blood rich in oxygen?
To be "oxgenated" means the blood holds oxygen, so "oxygenated blood" carries O2 laden blood.
Does all veins carry deoxygenated blood?
They carry oxygenated blood in only a few cells since veins are drawn back into the heart and to the lungs to get oxygenated and back into arteries to be pumped out. If the oxygen from the blood that is being pumped out from your arteries is not being used too much, then the oxygen is still carried by the cell to deliver the oxygen to other organs in the body.
What types of veins are there?
