They are carrying carbon dioxide and are from the venous part of the circularity system.
Dark red blood flowing from a wound indicates bleeding from the veins. Applying direct pressure to the wound can help to stop the flow of blood.
Bright red blood is called frank blood, its fresher. Dark red blood is older blood that has been sitting for a while. The colour of fresh blood, say from an open wound, can be different due to variances in the number of red blood cells that person has. why this blood dark red? The amount of haemoglobin (red blood cells) that are in a person can differ slightly, this may cause some peoples blood to be darker than others if its fresh, otherwise see above...
It loses oxygen!
Red blood cells (erythrocytes), are red in color because they contain hemoglobin. The heme component of hemoglobin contains iron, thus giving it a red color.
The dark green pigment produced from hemoglobin when red blood cells are destroyed is called biliverdin. It is eventually converted into bilirubin, which gives bile its yellow color.
1) Frog's red blood cells contain a nucleus that carries all the genetic information needed to make new cells by replication. Human red blood cells contain no nuclei because they reproduce differently than frog. 2) We human have platelets in our blood but frogs do not have them.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
Elevated levels of indirect bilirubin in liver function tests indicate excessive breakdown of red blood cells. Indirect bilirubin is a byproduct of the breakdown of hemoglobin from red blood cells, and increased levels suggest an increased rate of red blood cell destruction.
A frog's spleen is usually a dark red color, due to its high concentration of blood vessels and red blood cells.
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
The red blood cells themselves do not take any action to get more oxygen, but the kidneys sense a lack of oxygen and produce more erythropoietin (hormone responsible for producing red blood cells) and this in turn increases oxygen levels
The liver is the main production center of red blood cells. The large amount of blood that must circulate through the liver at all times leads to the dark red color.
