No deoxygenated blood is dark red and oxygenated blood is lightish red.
No one has truly blue blood. De oxygenated blood is 'bluer' than oxygenated blood. The phrase 'blue blood' often refers to royalty.
Oxygenated blood color is Red so when you bleed it is red because it is oxygenated.In your body unoxygenated its purplish-blue.
Blood is always red. Skin color changes to blue for different reasons.
Blood is red because of the iron in red blood cells, which gives it a red color when oxygenated. Veins appear blue because of the way light interacts with the skin and the blood vessels, causing them to look blue from the outside.
Veins are blue in color, they carry deoxygenerated blood which has greater absorption coefficient than the oxygenated blood that runs in artery which is mainly responsible for the blue color.
No. De-oxygenated blood is a dark red color. It may look blue in an anatomy and physiology text book, but the authors do that to show more clearly which blood vessels, usually veins, that carry de-oxygenated blood. That is why they color them blue. And then the arteries, which usually carry oxygenated blood, are colored red. In real life, your veins look blue because of the other tissues that have pigments in them that you have to look through to see your veins. Even though they appear on the outside to be blue, in fact, on the inside they are carrying deep dark red blood. Just look at the vial of blood the next time the nurse draws some for a test. You will see that it is dark red.
because your oxygenated blood is what gives you colour and if you are being strangled or choking it cuts off the oxygen supply and you go the colour of your de-oxygenated blood.
Insects and other arthropods have blood that is often red due to the presence of a pigment called hemocyanin. This pigment contains copper, which gives the blood a blue or green color when oxygenated, but can appear red when deoxygenated.
all blood is red but people may think its blue. oxygenated blood comes from the arteries and it is usually bright red. unoxygenated blood is dark red and comes from the vein. so if you are a child and you get a cut and an adult ask you what color is the blood, dont think they are crazy
Red veins carry oxygenated blood.
Blood is a dark red color in veins, and a bright red color in arteries. Blood is never blue!!!!!!!!!People usually percieve that blood is blue because of when they look at, say, their wrist, it looks blue. This is only because of your skin over it and the way light reflects on it.
Because it is oxygenated blood When the blood is oxygenated it means that the iron atom (hemoglobin) of erythrocytes has carried the oxygen. The hemoglobin combined with oxygen gives red color to the blood. Some animals has another atom in blood which is able to bind to oxygen for example octopus blood contains copper which binds to oxygen and it gives the blood a blue color.
