When you breathe, the air that goes in your lungs gets absorbed through the thin tissue that your lungs are made up of. This oxygen is transmitted to the heart, which pumps blood all around the vascular system. Blood carries the oxygen and releases it wherever the oxygen is needed.

Well we know that arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry deoxygenated blood, However when it comes to which artery supplies oxygenated blood to the heart, it all changes, It is the PULMONARY VEIN only vein in the entire body that carries oxygenated blood and its friend the PULMONARY ARTERY is the only artery in the entire human body that carries deoxygenated blood. (there is you answer the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart)

You could also be referring to the coronary arteries the right and the left, which supply blood to the cardiac/heart muscles.
