The coronary arteries carry blood to the muscle that makes up the heart but this blood comes directly from the large artery called the aorta.
Otherwise arteries always carry blood way from the heart and veins carry it back. As far as if it they carry oxygen or not, veins carry blood back from the body without oxygen and back from the lungs with oxygen.

What is the system of vessels carrying blood away from the heart?
The Blood Vessels that carry Blood away from the Heart are the Pulmonary Artery, which carries Deoxygenated Blood from the Heart to the Lungs, and the Aorta, which transports Oxygenated Blood around the Body
What usually carries blood away from the heart?
veinsAnswerArteries are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, not veins. Veins are the blood vessels that carry blood towards the heart. The only exceptions being the pulmonary and umbilical veins, both of which carry oxygenated blood.
Which side of the heart carries oxygenated blood?
The left atrium and the left ventricle carries oxygenated blood in human heart.
Does the heart carries oxygenerated blood from the heart?
The aorta is the vessel that carries oxygenated blood from the heart. In contrast, the pulmonary artery is the vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the heart.
What is the sole artery that does not carry oxygenated blood?
The Superior and Inferior Vena Cava do not carry oxygenated blood to the heart. They carry deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood to the heart from the lungs, which may seem odd since it's called a vein- but vessels leading TO the heart are called veins and vessels travelleing FROM the heart are called arteries.
