Step-by-step explanation:

Arteries are blood vessels responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the body. Veins are blood vessels that carry blood low in oxygen from the body back to the heart for reoxygenation.

Note: Pulmonary artery and vein is exceptional,as pulmonary artery carry deoxygenated blood to lungs for reoxygenation and pulmonary vein carry oxygenated blood to heart.
