Any artery carries oxygenated blood. The larger ones are called arteries, smaller are arterioles. These end into a capillary bed where oxygen is sent to the cells and carbon dioxide is picked up.

ARTERIESArteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. All arteries, with the exception of the pulmonary and umbilical arteries, carry oxygenated blood. Aorta is the largest artery. Arises from heart.CAPILLARIESCapillaries are the smallest of a body's blood vessels and are part of the microcirculation. They are only 1 cell thick. These micro vessels, measuring 5-10 cm in diameter, connect arterioles and vernicles, and enable the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.VEINSIn the circulatory system, veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart. 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. They differ from arteries in structure and function. for example, arteries are more muscular than veins and they carry blood away from the heart.
