Veins carry blood to the heart from the body, and arteries carry blood from the heart.

Usually, the blood in veins is deoxygenated (ie. has very little oxygen left), and arteries have oxygenated blood. However, in the pulmonary ("lungs") circulatory system, it is the opposite (ie. veins ALWAYS carry blood TO the heart, whether oxygenated or not, and vice versa).
