do arteries transport oxygenated blood.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the tissues, except for pulmonary arteries, which carry blood to the lungs for oxygenation. (Usually veins carry deoxygenated blood to the heart but the pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.)

Arteries transport blood that is under higher pressure, typically the blood is also oxygenated with the exception of the pulmonary artery.

The most simple version is that arteries always carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood towards the heart. That is the simplest, clear distinction.
