I'm no anonomy expert, but the blood carried from the heart to the body is oxygen rich while the blood coming from the body has had it's oxygen absorbed so it goes through the heart to the lungs, where it gets oxygen, back to the heart and out to the body again.

What are the 2 main differences between Arteries and Veins?
Viens carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood towardj the heart. Arteries are generally thicker than veins because arteries must withstand the pressure of the blood coming away from the heart.
What is different about pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins?
The pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein originates in the heart. What is different about them is that the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood (blood without oxygen) as supposed to other arteries, which carry oxygenated blood. And the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood unlike other veins, which carry deoxygenated blood.
What function do the arteries perform for the cells?
Arteries helps in carrying oxygenated blood from heart to different tissues of body.
