Major arteries like the aorta transfer oxygenated blood from the heart to the body tissues.
Coronary arteries are those branches from the major aorta that feed the heart with oxygenated blood.
Arteries are the vessels which carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, except for the pulmonary artery, which is the only artery (besides umbilical arteries inside of a fetus) that carries deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries blood away from the heart into the lungs.
The thing that carries oxygen in your blood is the protein hemoglobin.
Arteries always carry blood away from the heart. Veins always carry blood back to the heart. Not all arteries carry high O2 blood. Not all veins carry low O2 blood. They are named for where they go not what they carry.

What are the blood vessels that take oxygen-poor blood away from the heart?
Arteries take blood away from the heart (arteries=away). Almost always these carry blood high in oxygen. Veins carry blood back to the heart and almost always carry blood low in oxygen. The only exception: Pulmonary arteries carry blood away from the heart but they are low in oxygen and need to pick up this in the lungs. The Pulmonary veins carry oxygen to heart from the lungs.
Do arteries carry oxygen or blood away from the heart?
They take the blood away
Do veins carry oxygenated blood away from the heart?
Veins carry blood to the heart. They usually carry oxygen-poor blood.
Why is the pulmonary vein the onley oxygen-rich vein in your body?
Veins and arteries are not classified by whether they carry oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor blood. They are classified according to whether they carry blood to the heart or away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart and arteries carry blood away from the heart. So the pulmonary vein carries blood to the heart, which is why it is a vein. Also, the pulmonary artery, which carries oxygen-poor blood to the lungs is an artery because it carries blood away from the heart.
Where do veins take your blood?
Veins carry the blood to the heart to get oxygen back in it, while arteries carry the blood away from the heart.

Blood is carried away from the heart in arteries or veins?
It depends. The blood that is being carried away from to the body is oxygenated blood and the blood that is being carried away from the heart and heading towards the lungs is called deoxgenated blood. OXYGENATED blood has a high percentage of oxygen and deoxygenated blood has a low percentage of oxygen.
TYpe of blood vessels delivers oxygen-rich blood from the heart?
The arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart and to the rest of the body. Veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to be oxidized.
What structure carry's oxygen-rich blood away from the heart?
