Because of the presence of hemoglobin in our blood.
Human blood is red only when it is oxygenated, meaning oxygen molecules have bound to hemoglobin in the red blood cells after the blood passed through lung tissues. Blood where no oxygen is bound to the hemoglobin will be blue in color.
Inside the body, blood leaving the lungs is bright red because it is freshly oxygenated. Blood returning from various parts of the body to the lungs will be blue because it is is devoid of oxygen.
Blood from a cut or wound is always red because oxygen in the air binds with the hemoglobin.
Red! Any vampire that feasts on human blood has red eyes!

The shape of the human red blood cells is that it is biconcave in shape.
Red blood cells in the human body are normally contained within the blood vessels. They may be stored in the spleen, and are produced in the red marrow.
You can find red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in human blood.
Bovine red blood cells are slightly larger with a diameter of about 6-8 μm compared to human red blood cells, which have a diameter of about 6-7 μm. The concentration of red blood cells in bovine blood is lower than in human blood, with a hematocrit of around 30-35% for cows compared to 40-50% for humans.
Frogs have nucleated red blood cells, whereas humans have anucleated red blood cells. This means that frog red blood cells contain a nucleus, while human red blood cells do not. Additionally, frog red blood cells are elliptical in shape, while human red blood cells are biconcave disks.
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.
Not in a human, no. Oxygenated blood is bright red. Deoxygenated blood is a dark red.
The Volturi have red eyes because they choose to drink human blood, despite not being newborn vampires. Their diet of human blood results in their eyes remaining red, rather than transitioning to a golden hue like vampires who feed on animal blood.
Mature red blood cells are the only human cells that do not have a nucleus. sorry to do this but that's not the answer but i don't know it
No. But the 'used' blood on its way back to the lungs is dull red, and looks blue through the veins.
