Why are white blood cells blue?
They aren't; they are white.
Is it possible to have blue blood?
There are no blue blood cells. Blood cells are either red cells or white cells. Red cells are a very pale red when seen individually, but make blood look red when there are millions of them together. White blood cells are actually colourless. They are stained with various stains to make then visible under the microscope. See http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/general/body_basics/blood.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BloodBlue blood cells are cells that are not oxygenated. In other words, blood that runs through your body that have not reached oxygen take the color of blue.
What is the protein found in red blood cells that give blood its color?
iron. the blood contains iron and when you breathe, you give oxygen to it. so your blood is red pretty much because of oxidized iron. the red blood cells take the oxygen through the body and when it is deposited the blood turns blue, that's why the veins in your wrist are blue.
What are red and white blood cells?
They are called red blood cells for a reason. They are generally red. If the amount of oxygen in the blood drops below a certain point, it can look purple, and through the skin the veins may appear to be blue. Only in molluscs and some arthropods is oxygenated blood blue, due to the presence of the protein hemocyanin, which contains copper rather than the iron found in hemoglobin.
What cells are in the bloodstream?
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
Are there three types of blood cells - red blood cells and white blood cells and blue blood cells?
No. There are no blue blood cells. There are only white blood cells (lymphocytes) and red blood cells(erythrocytes).
Does blood contain red blood cells and blue blood cells?
In relation to the human body, it is a common misconception that blood is blue; all blood is red. The blue appearance is due to the connective tissues of the blood vessels. Blood cells can be either erythrocytes, which are red, or leukocytes, which are white. When blood is oxygenated it is a much brighter red than de-oxygenated blood.
Are there only red white and blue blood cells in a persons body?
Yes, except for the blue. It's a human, not the flag.
What color blood cells bring oxygen to cells an take carbon dioxide away?
The Red Blood Cells remove wastes from your cells.
What are the types of cells that are found in blood?
none but blue
Why are white blood cells blue?
They aren't; they are white.
Do you have blue blood cells?
No, only red and white.
Why do red blood cells turn blue?
Lack of oxygen causes blood cells to appear blue. Remember that all veins except the pulmonary vein carry 'oxygen depleted blood' or deoxygenated blood. Dont worry that your veins appear blue though! Its fine.
Why are your blood cells red?
Your Blood cells contain Iron which is red there is a animal that uses copper sulphate instead of iron so that's why its blood is blue!
What color are blood cells?
De-oxygenated human blood is NOT blue. Blood in veins is NOT blue. Human blood is ALWAYS red regardless of whether it is venous or arterial blood, regardless of whether it is oxygenated or deoxygenated, regardless of whether it is inside the body or outside the body. Human blood is red. Period. Veins appear blue from outside the skin because of the way light interacts with skin and blood - NOT because blood is blue in color.

Are red blood cells found in other organism?
Yes, all vertebrates (e.g. fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, birds) have red blood cells. There are probably other organisms that also have red blood cells. However insects and several other invertebrates have a blue copper based blood instead of the red iron based blood of vertebrates. Bur they do not have blue blood cells as the copper based compound these organisms is free in the blood instead of contained inside cells.
