see definition of veins and arteries below. Nerves are entierly different and do not transport blood

and more muscular walls than veins, and are connected with
them by capillaries.

arteries carry blood away from the heart
Arteries are muscular blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. They are contrasted with veins, which carry blood toward the heart.

A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of nerve fibers or axons, which includes the glia that ensheath the axons in myelin. Neurons are sometimes called nerve cells, though this term is technically imprecise since many neurons do not form nerves.
