No. Arteries carry blood from the heart to the rest of the organs, and veins carry blood back to the heart. All arteries have high pressure from being pumped by the heart so recently, and all veins have low pressure from travelling round the body for so long.
Most arteries carry oxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary artery, which goes to the lungs to pick up more oxygen) and most veins carry deoxygenated blood (except for the pulmonary vein, which has lots of oxygen from the lungs).
