What makes the pulmonary veins and arteries more confusing than other veins and arteries?

We usually think of arteries as the vessels that carry oxygenated blood to the body, and we usually think of veins as the vessels that carry spent blood back to the heart/lungs. But the vessels around the heart can be a little different. It is an artery that carries spent blood from the heart to the lungs (where they get re-charged with oxygen), and then it is a vein that carries this oxygenated blood back to the heart to then be pumped out to the body.To clear it up, realize that if a vessel is carrying blood out of the heart chambers, it is an artery. If the vessel is carrying blood back to the heart chambers, it is a vein. It is not oxygen content that defines a vessel as an artery or a vein.The coronary arteries are vessels that are carrying oxygenated blood out of the heart chambers and into the heart muscle itself; they are not carrying blood into the chambers for pumping. So they also are indeed arteries and not veins.
