No, that's not true for all arteries and veins. The rule is that arteries carry blood away from the heart, whether it's oxygenated or deoxygenated, and veins carry blood to the heart, whether it's deoxygenated or oxygenated.
In the systemic circulation, the blood in the arteries is oxygen-rich, and is carried towards other organs where it is used for respiration by the organs. And in the systemic circulation, the blood carried by the veins towards the heart and is oxygen-poor.
But the pulmonary circulation is the opposite. The pulmonary arteries carry deoxygenated blood away from the right side of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated, and the pulmonary veins carry the oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart to be circulated to the rest of the body.

Do veins carry oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
Deoxygenated With the exception of the pulmonary vessels, veins carry deoxygenated blood; arteries carry oxygenated blood.
Which does not carry oxygenated blood?
All arteries (the red blood vessels) carry oxygenated blood. it's the viens (the blue blood vessels) that don't carry oxygenated blood. However the Pulmonary artery carries Deoxygenated blood to the lungs to be reoxygenated, as it carries blood away from the heart it is called a Artery.
Do capillaries carry oxygenated blood?
Yes capillaries carry oxygenated blood :D
What vessels transport deoxygenated blood into the heart?
in most cases, veins carry deoxygenated blood. the exception to this are the pulmonary veins which carry oxygenated blood. all veins carry blood back to the heart, while arteries carry blood away from the heart.
Does the pulmonary artery carry oxygenated blood or deoxygenated blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygenated blood. You can remember this easily because all ARTERIES carry oxygenated blood and all VIENS carry deoxygenated blood.
Ateries carry oxgen rich or poor blood?
Arteries carry oxygenated(oxygen rich blood) and veins carry deoxygenated blood. But pulmonary artery carry deoxygenated blood and pulmonary vein carry oxygenated blood.
What blood vessels carry deoxgenated blood?
Veins with the exception of the pulmonary vein which carries oxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood.
What is the difference of an artery from a vein?
Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood in the lungs to the tissues of the body.Veins are blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood (venous blood) filled with waste products from the body tissues to the heart and lungs.
What are the blood vessels that Carry?
The pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs, are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood.
Do capillaries carry oxygenated or deoxygenated blood?
Capillaries carry Oxygenated (oxygen rich) blood and De-oxygenated (oxygen depleted) blood.
What are the vessels that carry deoxgenated blood?
The pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs, are the only arteries which carry deoxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary veins, carrying blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, are the only veins carrying oxygenated blood. Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood.
Which blood vessels carry deoygenated blood?
In all cases except one, veins carry deoxygenated blood. The exception is the pulmonary veins which carry oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs. Veins ALWAYS carry blood to the heart.
