Detailed explanation-1: -Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart, while veins carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart. An easy mnemonic is “A for ‘artery’ and ‘away’ (from the heart).” (The exceptions to this general rule are the pulmonary vessels.
Detailed explanation-2: -All veins carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary vein.
