What carries the oxygen rich blood and what carries the cabon dioxside rich blood?
Oxygen rich blood is physically transported by arteries; which lead away from the heart. Oxygen depleted blood is transported back to the heart by veins. Arteries are bigger than veins and are set deeper within the body. Within the veins and arteries are red blood cells that technically "carry" the oxygen. Red blood cells are composed of the protein haemoglobin which is rich in iron. It is the iron that enables the red blood cells to "carry" the oxygen by forming a chemical bond with the oxygen atom.
Which vessels carry oxygen-rich blood to the body?

Blood in arteries is red because it is rich in oxygen?
The pulmonary arteries are the only ones not carrying oxygenated blood. Arteries transport blood away from the heart and veins are to carry blood back to the heart. When you think this way, you may be able to visualize which vessels has oxygenated blood.
