If a person is suffering from cyanosis the skin will appear to be a blueish purple. Highly oxygenated blood appears bright red, poorly oxygenated blood a dark red. Without proper oxygen the skin begins to pale causing the dark blood in the veins to show through with a blueish tint.
On that note, the actual skin consistency starts to become ash like causing the dark to show through even more.

What separates oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood?
The "oxygen-poor blood" is converted to "oxygen-rich blood" through the heart and the lungs. The blood without oxygen goes through the heart to the lungs where it is converted to oxygenated blood and returned to the heart, which distributes it throughout the body. They are kept separate (mostly) by means of using dufferent vessels to carry each. The oxygenated blood is carried in arteries and arterioles whilst the deoxygenated blood is carried in the veins and veinules. The opposite is true of the pulmonary circulaiton.
What color is skin with low levels of oxygen?
Skin with low levels of oxygen may appear bluish or purple in color due to poor oxygenation of the blood. This condition is called cyanosis.
Which blood vessel carries oxygen-poor blood back to the heart?
Systemic veins, not to be confused with pulmonary veins, carry oxygen poor blood back to the heart.
What two components in the Circulatory System have oxygen-rich blood and oxygen-poor blood respectively?
The right atrium and ventricle of the heart, as well as veins, contain oxygen-poor blood. The left atrium and ventricle, as well as the arteries, contain oxygen-rich blood. One exception to this is the pulmonary vein and artery, which are reversed - pulmonary artery contains oxygen-poor blood and pulmonary vein contains oxygen-rich blood.
Where is Oxygen poor blood collected?
Deoxygenated blood is not collected anywhere. Blood is a constantly moving stream - it never stops, as the question implies. The oxygen poor blood goes to the lungs, where it turns oxygenated as it takes up oxygen.
What is the color of the skin that is supplied by oxygen-poor blood?
my eyes are
What color is oxygen-poor blood?
Oxygen-poor blood is dark red; oxygen-rich blood is bright red.
Why does capillary change color as it passes by your body cells?
Capillaries change color as they pass by body cells as the blood they contain loses oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood has a brighter color than oxygen-poor blood.
Are ligaments supplied by blood?
Yes, ligaments are supplied by blood vessels that bring nutrients and oxygen to help maintain their health and function. However, ligaments have a relatively poor blood supply compared to other tissues, which can make their healing process slower compared to other structures in the body.
Blood that is oxygen poor?
Venous blood is oxygen poor (in comparison with arterial blood).
What is the color of blood that's high in oxygen?
When blood is oxygen-rich, it is bright red. Therefore, when blood is oxygen-poor, it is darker in color. When oxygen-poor blood flows through the lungs from the pulmonary arteries, it gets rid of the carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen, which then becomes oxygen-rich blood with a bright red color.
What does peripheral vein carry to the extremities oxygen rich or oxygen poor blood?
Oxygen poor blood
Why are the lungs pinkish red?
Lungs are pink in color because they are full of oxygen rich blood. Oxygen poor blood, on the other hand, has blue color to it.
Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry oxygen rich blood or oxygen poor blood?
poor
Do we have oxygen poor blood in your lungs?
no you have oxygen high blood.
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
