Which veins and arteries don't do what normal veins and arteries do?

The "typical" artery carries oxygenated blood while the typical vein carries deoxygenated blood carrying carbon dioxide from the cells.

However, the pulmonary arteries and veins connect the heart to the lungs, and their contents are the reverse. The pulmonary arteries carry blood that has returned to the right side of the heart, taking it from the right venticle to the lungs. So these arteries contain "venous" blood.

The blood travels back, from the lungs to the left side of the heart, in the pulmonary veins. Here, the blood is "arterial" blood that already has oxygen, and which is then pumped out to the body.

Are blood veins low or high in oxygen?

The blood in veins is deoxygenated (meaning that the oxygen has already been used throughout the body and is returning to the heart, then the lungs, so that the hemoglobin can be replenished with oxygen); whereas, the arteries carry oxygenated blood throughout the body. In summary, the veins carry LESS oxygenated blood than the arteries. HOWEVER, there are two situations where this is not true. This concept is reversed in fetal circulation AND in cardiac collateral circulation; therefore, a tip is to think of blood not in terms of oxygenated or deoxygenated but rather in terms of which way the blood flows from the heart. If blood flows from the heart to the body it is carried by and artery, conversely if it blood is carried from the body back to the heart by the body's veins.
