Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart. The blood in the veins is not entirely without oxygen but is depleted to a large extent.

Arteries ALWAYS carry blood AWAY from the heart and veins to the heart.
