The only veins in an adult that carry oxygenated blood are the pulmonary veins, which carry blood from the lungs to the heart after it has been oxygenated. All other veins in the body carry relatively de-oxygenated blood.
However in fetal circulation, the umbilical vein also carries oxygenated blood.
Otherwise, arteries carry oxygenated blood to the body from the aorta and heart.
