Arteries (like the Aorta) carry blood away fromthe heart. Veins (like superior vena cava) carry blood towards the heart.
Both arteries and veins can have oxygen-rich and and oxygen-poor blood running through them.

What is the vessel leaving the heart with low oxygen?
The blood vessel that carries deoxygenated (low oxygen) blood away from the heart is called the pulmonary artery. This artery carries blood to the lungs where it picks up oxygen and then travels back to the heart to be pumped out to the cells of the body. The best way to remember this is to remember that pulmonary means lungs and artery means a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart. Most arteries carry blood that is rich in oxygen. The pulmonary artery is an exception.
An artery is a blood vessel that only does what?
Arteries Cary oxygenated blood. This is usually to organs or muscles with the exception of the pulmonary artery wich carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Do arteries lead from the heart or to the heart?
For the most part, yes. A vein carries blood to the heart and an artery carries blood away from the heart. Therefore, the vessel from the heart to the lungs is an artery, even though it is unoxygenated, and the vessel from the lungs to the heart is a vein, even though it is oxygenated.
