There is a lot of dark coloured blood. If it was an artery, the blood would be pulsing out, and bright red. Veins carry blood that needs oxygen back to the heart and lungs so oxygen can be replenished. This is why the blood is dark. Well oxygenated blood is bright red (in the arteries)

An artery in the body is like the highway where veins are the main street's. In an artery there is much more volume of blood being moved at a faster speed.
