How do you know that the blood in the arteries is oxygen-rich?
oxygen rich blood is red, while oxygen poor blood is blue. this is the reason that blood in your arteries are always red, and blood in your veins are always blue.
Would you expect much of the exchange between red blood cells and body cells in arteries or veins?
The exchange between red blood cells and body cells primarily occurs in the capillaries, not in arteries or veins. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to tissues, while veins return oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. In the capillaries, oxygen and nutrients diffuse from the red blood cells into body cells, and waste products like carbon dioxide move into the blood. Therefore, significant exchange does not happen in arteries or veins.
Why is blood blue in veins?
Blood is not actually blue in veins. The misconception that blood is blue in veins comes from the way light interacts with our skin, making veins appear blue. In reality, blood is always red, whether it is in the veins or arteries.
