The coronary arteries carry blood to the muscle that makes up the heart but this blood comes directly from the large artery called the aorta.Otherwise arteries always carry blood way from the heart and veins carry it back. As far as if it they carry oxygen or not, veins carry blood back from the body without oxygen and back from the lungs with oxygen.
Do blood in the arteries travel away from the heart only it is oxygenated?
The lungs oxygenate blood, arteries simply carry oxygenated blood. But there is one exception to this rule. Arteries carry oxygenated blood in systemic circulation (blood circulation to the entire body excluding the lungs). In pulmonary circulation (blood circulation to the lungs), the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where it gets O2 and it transported back to the heart by the pulmonary vein.
What type of blood is in the pulmonary arteries?
Deoxygenated. The blood is carried by the pulmonary arteries from the heart to the lungs to replenish the oxygen.
