Which veins and arteries don't do what normal veins and arteries do?

The "typical" artery carries oxygenated blood while the typical vein carries deoxygenated blood carrying carbon dioxide from the cells.
However, the pulmonary arteries and veins connect the heart to the lungs, and their contents are the reverse. The pulmonary arteries carry blood that has returned to the right side of the heart, taking it from the right venticle to the lungs. So these arteries contain "venous" blood.
The blood travels back, from the lungs to the left side of the heart, in the pulmonary veins. Here, the blood is "arterial" blood that already has oxygen, and which is then pumped out to the body.
