minus-squarelyralycan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-22 天前Holy shit. As someone who does not possess the knowledge, is blood white? The deoxygenated channels?
minus-squareMoonMelon@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·edit-22 天前Deoxygenated, venous blood is dark red. Oxygenated, arterial blood is bright red. I was taught the “blood is blue” myth also. My mom was livid, since her job involved drawing lots of blood, starting IVs etc.

If it was true, that blood turned red when it touched oxygen, then pulling blood from the vein in a needle would be blue. Teachers told me to shut up. It’s such a stupid theory, knowing what we knew.

Holy shit.
