Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Except for pulmonary artery, all arteries will have RBC with oxygenated blood
2. Except for pulmonary veins, all veins will have RBC with deoxygenated blood.
3. Capillaries - oxygenated, veinules, - deoxygenated
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
