Generally speaking, arteries carry oxygenated blood while veins carry de-oxygenated blood. Cells in your body need the oxygen carried by arteries, so the heart pumps it away from the heart, towards the other organs in your body.
After the organs use the oxygen in the blood, it is carried back to your heart and lungs by the veins.
