Do arteries feed the veins

Hmm; in a sense, yes. A more complete understanding would have arteries feeding capillaries, which feed the muscle or organ fresh blood, which is returned to the circulatory system by veins.

Arteries carry oxygenated blood; veins return the now oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs, then heart, and back to the arteries, in brief.
