Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. The blood in the veins is not entirely without oxygen but is depleted to a large extent.
Arteries ALWAYS carry blood AWAY from the heart and veins to the heart.

∙ 14y agoThey're not supposed to. Only arteries are supposed to carry oxygenated blood. The veins are supposed to take unoxygenated blood back to the heart and then to the lungs.

∙ 12y agoNo. Veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart. It then travels through the right atrium and right ventricle, where it is pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs for oxygenation.

∙ 12y agoI believe it's the Arteries that carry oxygenated blood. I'm not 100% positive but I do believe it's correct.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. In fact, the only vein that carries oxygenated blood to the heart is the pulmonary vein. All other veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart.

Do the pulminary veins transport oxygenated blood to the heart?
yes the pulminary veins do transport oxygenated blood to the heart. study study study!!!
Which transport oxygenated blood to the heart?
The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood to the heart.
What is defferance in artey or vien?
Arteries transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the organs of the body; veins transport deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Where in the body are veins and arteries?
Veins and arteries are found throughout the body. Veins transport "used" or de-oxygenated blood back to the heart whereas arteries deliver oxygenated blood throughout the body.
Function of veins?
Veins transport deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart. They also prevent the backward flow of blood. The pulmonary vein, as an exception, transports oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
What vessels transport deoxygenated blood into the heart?
in most cases, veins carry deoxygenated blood. the exception to this are the pulmonary veins which carry oxygenated blood. all veins carry blood back to the heart, while arteries carry blood away from the heart.
Is the blood in the Pulmonary artery oxygenatated or deoxygenated?
Blood in the arteries is oxygenated. Blood in the veins is de-oxygenated. With the exception of the pulmonary arteries which carry de-oxygenated blood, and the pulmonary veins that carry oxygenated blood.
What is the basic difference between arteries and veins?
Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart and veins carry de-oxygenated blood back to the heart.
Which vessels transport blood toward the heart?
Veins usually transport blood towards the heart.
What veins carry oxygenated blood?
The only veins in an adult that carry oxygenated blood are the pulmonary veins, which carry blood from the lungs to the heart after it has been oxygenated. All other veins in the body carry relatively de-oxygenated blood.However in fetal circulation, the umbilical vein also carries oxygenated blood.Otherwise, arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body from the aorta and heart.
