If iron rusts outside our body why doesn't it rust in our blood?

Actually, it does. Rust refers to the oxidation of iron, and the hemoglobin of blood oxidizes and carries oxygen to all the other parts of the body in a complicated molecular process.

What would happen to a person blood osmolality when drinking seawater?
When you drink seawater, a high concentration of salt finds its way into your blood vessels. As a result, you have a higher concentration of solutes (salt molecules, in this case) on the outside of your blood cells than in your blood cells-- there is a hypertonic solution on the outside of the blood cells. Your body wants to keep solutions isotonic across the membranes-- that means your body wants the same amount of free water molecules on the inside of the blood cells as the outside-- so water molecules move out of the blood cells in order to keep the balance of free water molecules. The water moving out of the blood cells cause them to "crenate," or shrink, which is of course not very good for your cells.

Name the oxygen carrying pigment of human blood?
Haemoglobin. It is rich in iron and that is how it carries oxygen. Oxygen binds to iron very well. When it does the iron rusts giving iron a red color. That is why your blood is red because of the rust in it. Your blood also holds a certain amount of oxygen in the liquid portion like all liquids.. It would take more air than there is in the whole tubing to kill you. Thus little tiny air bubbles in an IV line would be absorbed into your blood like all the other air already there and your body would not notice a thing. But I digress….
