For the most part. Arteries are better described as saying they always carry blood away from the heart. Every artery in the human body carries oxygenated blood, except the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries blood from the heart to the lungs in order to "pick up" a new supply of O2 which it then carries back to the heart and to the rest of the body.
