No they do not. "Veins" are in fact, the blood vessel that moves blood to the heart so that it can get moved to the lungs in order to gain oxygen. "Arteries" are the blood vessel that moves blood away from the heart so that way the various body parts can gain that oxygen to do there thing.

Do arteries collects plasma and returns it to the blood?

No, arteries do not collect plasma or return it to the blood. Instead, arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body's tissues. Plasma, which is the liquid component of blood, is primarily found in veins and capillaries, where it can exchange nutrients and waste with surrounding tissues. The return of plasma to the circulatory system primarily occurs through the venous system and lymphatic system.
