What carries oxygenated blood away from heart?

Answer:
Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart.

This is true in all cases except the pulmonary artery, which takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

Think of it this way: arteries take blood out of the heart, veins bring blood in.
