Do arteries only carry oxygenated blood?

No, arteries do not only carry oxygenated blood.

There are two types of arteries in the circulatory system:

- Pulmonary arteries: These arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.

- Systemic arteries: These arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
