Veins typically carry de-oxygenated blood towards the heart. The exception is the pulmonary artery and the umbilical artery.
pulmonary artery
The aorta is the vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart. In contrast, the pulmonary artery is the vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart.
An artery is the vessel that carries blood away from the heart. The pulmonary artery carries only deoxygenated blood after birth.
Pulmonary arteries which is the only artery which carries deoxygenated blood.

The Hepatic Portal Vein
Veins with the exception of the pulmonary vein which carries oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.
Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart.
The vena cava carries deoxygenated blood into the left atrium.
Arteries (carries oxygenated blood), veins (carries deoxygenated blood) and capillaries (blood vessels connecting arteries to veins and vice versa).
The pulmonary artery is the primary vessel that carries blood to the lungs. Unlike the systemic circulation, the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.
The vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the brain back to the right side of the heart is the jugular vein. Specifically, the internal jugular vein collects blood from the brain and neck and drains it into the brachiocephalic vein, which then empties into the superior vena cava. This blood ultimately returns to the right atrium of the heart.
