In adult humans, almost ALL arteries carry oxygenated blood.
The arteries that carry non-oxygenated blood are the pulmonary arteries, which carry venous blood pumped from the right ventricle to the lungs. Because the term "artery" refers to "blood vessels leaving the heart" the pulmonary arteries are arteries, and the pulmonary veins are unique in that they carry oxygenated blood (from the lungs to the left side of the heart).
*There is a related question "What are the only veins that carry oxygenated blood?"
What else can I help you with?
How are arteries that lead from your heart to your lungs different from other arteries?
the artieries that lead to your heart have carbon dioxide (Co2) in them and the arteries that lead to your body are carrying oxygen to the body parts
Only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood?
The only artery that is supposed to carry deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery. It carried deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs for oxygenation. Any artery can carry deoxygenated blood, so be careful how you word questions.
What is formed when a fossil fuel is burned in plenty of air?
only carbon dioxide
What percentage of carbon dioxide is in the earth's crust?
The percentage of carbon dioxide is in the earth's crust is only 0.005%. Oxygen on the other hand makes up for 47% of the crust of the earth.
What happens to blood after it leaves the heart?
Deoxygenated blood leaves the right side of heart via the Pulmonary Artery (the only artery in the body to carry oxygenated blood) and enters the capillaries surrounding the alveoli of the lungs, here it becomes Oxygenated by diffusion. The newly Oxygenated blood then re-enters the heart on the left side via the Pulmonary vein (the only vein in the body to carry Oxygenated blood) and is pumped out the Aorta to the bodies cells and organs. Capillaries surrounding these exchange materials, oxygen into the cell and Carbon Dioxide out. The blood is now classed as "deoxygenated" and contains a significant amount more Carbon Dioxide than the oxygenated blood. This blood is then returned to the right side of the heart via the Vena Cava ready to start the cycle again. The fact that the blood is pumped heart to lungs, heart to body makes it very efficient. This is known as a Double Circulatory System.
What are the only artery in the body rich in carbon dioxide?

What is the only vein in the body rich in carbon dioxide?
the answer it the pulmanary vein
Which do you inhale when you breath oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Both! your body only keeps the oxygen though and when you breath out the carbon ddioxide comes out
How is blood in the pulmonary artery different from blood in arterys?
The pulmonary artery runs from the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery that doesn't carry oxygenated blood. That makes it a darker red than the blood in other arteries, so it looks blue under your skin.
How does breathing?
You don't only "breath in air, and breath out air," You breath in Oxygen and let out Carbon Dioxide. Passes to the diaphragm and the lungs, inhale oxygen, it goes through your body, exhale Carbon Dioxide, From which the body has made when inhaled.
What is pulmonary Artery and Vein?
The Pulmonary Artery is the only artery in the body to carry deoxygenated blood from the Heart to the lungs where it "picks up" Oxygen and "Drops off" Carbon dioxide by the process of Diffusion through the 1 cell thick air sacks in the lungs. The Pulmonary Vein is the only vein then to bring oxygenated blood anywhere in the body, the oxygenated blood goes to the Left hand side of the heart (think about it as if you were personally looking down at your own heart, not as a diagram) then the left hand side of the heart pumps it around the body through the aorta.

What vessels carry blood rich in carbon dioxide?
In short, the veinules, the pulmonary artery, and all veins except for the pulmonary vein are the blood vessels that carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide. Unless you want to explain all that, the best answer is "veins." The capillaries that carry carbon dioxide back toward the heart are called veinules. The veinules join up to form veins. They eventually connect to the vena cava. The vena cava, which is the largest vein coming from the body, also carries deoxygenated blood, like nearly every other vein. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and is the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, and it is the only vein that carries oxygen-rich blood.
Why is not possible to stop breathing voluntarily?
Breathing is the only process where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. Oxygen is being delivered to the body parts where oxygen is needed, whilst removing carbon dioxide.
Why is the fuel burned in the car with the aluminum alloy body better for the environment than petrol?
Only water is produced No carbon dioxide is produced Less carbon dioxide produced or less global warming
