I was just wondering if anyone has seen “deoxynated blood”. In other words has anyone seen blood without oxygen in it.. and what kinda color blood turns out to be without having oxygen in it ?
Re: Deoxynated Blood
I think its blue...
Re: Deoxynated Blood
blood in your veins is mostly deoxygenated...it's color being blue-purplish
Re: Deoxynated Blood
You can see veins carrying deoxygenated blood if you clench your fists and look at the back side of your hands. I can see a whole network on both my hands. Same goes for the front part of my arms.
Re: Deoxynated Blood
most of the blood on the right side of your body is deoxygenated and its blue.
Re: Deoxynated Blood
even the blood in veins have oxygen in it. It looses onlly 25% of its O2. But yea, the blood in the vein is bluish color.
Re: Deoxynated Blood
if you were to take out the deoxygenated blood, it will be very dark, almost brownish colour.
Re: Deoxynated Blood
^ That's because it hits the air when you take it out, changing the color.
Inside the veins, its blue.
Re: Deoxynated Blood
I was asked thes very same question when in school, where I blurted out that it was blue and in return being blessed with a slap (not literally)
Its a common misconception that deoxygenated blood is blue. Oxygenated is a bright red and deoxygenated is a dark red bordering maroon. Ever had blood taken out of the very same vein that appears blue, the extract will enter an air tight tube, where the possibilty of it coming into contact with oxygen will be zero to none, the colour will almost always be a very dark red.
The veins that are visible only appear blue because the skin diffuses light, with the addition of the dark red blood exhibiting poor light reflection.
Anyhow check out, Blood - Wikipedia

Re: Deoxynated Blood
well, then that means u cant take out the deoxygenated blood... cuz even a drop of oxygen in blood can turn its colour back to red..so its quite clear that u cant take out the deoxygenated blood. Correct me if Im wrong.
