Best Answer

Veins carry deoxygenated blood, arteries carry oxygenated blood, and capillaries are for gas exchange between tissues and blood. One exception to that is the pulmonary artery and pulmonary veins of the heart -- they are named backward. The pulmonary artery actually carries the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
