No

Explanation:

Arteries transport blood from the heart to all the organs of the body (including the lungs), where they branch into capillaries for cells to take up oxygen and nutrients, and then veins transport the blood back to the heart again.

All the arteries (except the pulmonary arteries) carry oxygenated blood, and all the veins (except the pulmonary veins) carry deoxygenated blood.
