What is the difference in the color of blood found in the vein and the color of blood found in the arteries?
they are actually around the same color but light going through skin is absorbed differently the deeper the veins/arteries are. so the appereance of different color is just a measure of the deepness of said blood vessel. also arteries carry oxygen enriched bright red blood while veins carry oxygen deprived dark red blood, this difference is dark red vs bright red blood also contributes to the apparant change in color.
Arteries are red because they carry oxygenated blood (which is red) from the heart. Veins are blue because they return non-oxygenated blood back to the heart. Hemoglobin are the cells which carry oxygen in blood, and those cells change color depending on if they have oxygen or not. All blood looks red when someone bleeds, because when blue hemoglobin is exposed to air, it gets oxygen.
There isn't a difference. Blue and red may be traditionally used in charts but in real life, its all red. The blue just shows the arteries in the chart.

Is the blood in the arteries is what dark blood?
The question is a little vague but I think it's referring to the difference in color between blood in the arteries and veins. Blood in the arteries is bright red. It is coming from the heart, by way of the lungs where it picks up oxygen, and then goes out to the tissues of the body to deliver it's oxygen. After the blood has delivered the oxygen it appears darker as it travels in the veins back to the heart. So "dark blood" would be found in the veins.
What blood vessel is oxyginated blood found in?
arteries.
Is the oxygenated blood found in the umbilical vein or in the umbilical arteries?
arteries
Arterial blood where is it found?
In the arteries and arterioles.
Oxygenated blood is found in all arteries of the body. Is this true or false?
False. Oxygenated blood is found in the systemic arteries, which carry blood away from the heart to the body, but not in the pulmonary arteries, which carry blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
What type of gas is found in the blood of Arteries?
oxygen
What is one of the smallest blood vessels which connect the arteries and the veins is a?
The capillaries are the smallest blood vessels and are usually found between arteries and veins.
Why are arteries found deep within the body and veins are found closer to the surface of the body?
arteries and veins are found throughout the body. arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry it to the heart
Where in the body are veins and arteries?
Veins and arteries are found throughout the body. Veins transport "used" or de-oxygenated blood back to the heart whereas arteries deliver oxygenated blood throughout the body.
Which type of blood vessels will oxygenated blood be found?
Arteries (except for the Pulmonary artery (which caries ed-oxygenated blood) and pulmonary vein (which carries oxygenated blood ))
Is oxygenated blood found in all arteries?
No, but almost. The pulmonary artery is the ONLY artery that carries deoxygenated blood.
What are the 3 blood vestles called?
The three types of blood vessels in the body are veins, arteries, and capillaries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins carry blood to the heart. Capillaries are microscopic vessels that are found in the lungs and muscles.
