The medical term is "hemoptysis," which is officially defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "the expectoration of blood or bloody mucus from some part of the respiratory tract". This is different from blood that comes from the stomach, for example.
Hemo- is a prefix meaning blood (from the Greek word haima, blood) and ptysis is the Greek word for spitting.
The most common cause of hemoptysis is bronchitis. Other common causes include cystic fibrosis, drug use (such as cocaine), emphysema, foreign body, lung cancer, parasitic infection, pneumonia, trauma to the chest, and tuberculosis.
hemoptysis(hee-MOP-tih-sis) is coughing up of bloodstained sputum derived from the lungs or bronchial tubes as the result of pulminary or bronchial hemorrhage.(hem/o means blood, and -ptysis means spitting.

The literal term for this is hemoptysis. If there is bleeding from the airways or lungs the sputum becomes blood tinged. This is more serious. If a person spits blood it can be due to bleeding inside the mouth or nose.

What supply blood to the lungs?
The left and right bronchial arteries supply blood to lung tissue. Don't confuse these with the pulmonary arteries. The pulmonary a.a. carry deoxygenated blood ultimately to the capillary network of the alveoli for gas exchange but these vessels DO NOT supply blood to the lungs themselves. And the key word is "supplies". There are two left bronchial a.a. that arise from the superior surface of the thoracic aorta and a single right bronchial a., which can arise from either a posterior intercostal a. or from the superior left bronchial a. The bronchial a.a. branch off into bronchopulmonary a.a., which are different from the pulmobronchial a.a. that branch off the pulmonary a.a.
