It comes from an artery. Arteries carry OXYGENATED blood away from heart. This oxygenated blood is bright red. The Arterial system is on the high pressure side of the heart. The pressure changes as the heart contracts and then expands and refills (a heartbeat). When an artery is punctured the blood will spurt with every heartbeat.

What does it mean if your blood is red?
Bright red blood is a sign of highly oxygenated blood. Pain, fast pulse rate and rapid respirations are generally the cause. Bright red blood is also a sign that an artery has been severed. Blood is red because it contains a chromophore (colored compound) called heme. The electronic structure of heme is such that it can reversibly bind certain other molecules, one of which is oxygen. The oxy-heme complex is bright red. If the blood came from an artery, it was probably already bright red. If it came from a vein, the heme will be a sort of dark purplish-red, but as soon as it hits the oxygen in the atmosphere, it will bind and form the bright red oxy-heme complex, so regardless of where you cut yourself, the blood is going to be bright red. When you give blood at a blood bank, the blood is drawn from a vein, and flows into a bag which keeps the oxygen out. This blood will be the dark purplish-red color of the deoxygenated heme.
