They use red and blue ink when tracing the flow of blood because red ink is for arteries and blue ink is for veins. This can cause a problem because people sometimes think that arteries have red blood and veins have blue blood, but this is not true.

I THINK that blue is used because it is the color of blood without oxygen and red is used because it is the color of blood with oxygen. Also look at your veins see what color they are.
