arteries

Arteries almost always carry blood higher in oxygen except the pulmonary arteries carry less. The carry blood from the heart to the lungs to pick up oxygen and drop off carbon dioxide. The pulmonary veins are different as they carry blood higher in oxygen than other veins. They carry this blood to the heart which in turn pumps this higher oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
