Ganesh Ujwal Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Most of Animals have red color blood, but Why Human Blood looks very dark red compare to Animals?
Robittybob1 Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Most of Animals have red color blood, but Why Human Blood looks very dark red compare to Animals? I think the main difference is whether it is oxygenated or not. Bright red oxygenated blood is found in all animals including humans. How did you compare the bloods to come to your conclusion?
CharonY Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) The premise is wrong. As Robittybob1 said, there is no visual difference in mammalian blood (you are aware that we are animals, too, right?). Edited January 2, 2015 by CharonY
SiameseSam Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I guess our different genetic makeup causes that. am i right or wrong?

Search google for "arterial blood vs venous blood". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vein We see animals arterial blood during f.e. hunting when hunter or slaughter doesn't bother to keep animal alive. Humans blood that we ordinary see is from veins.

Humans blood that we ordinary see is from veins. Wouldn't that depend on whether we're talking pulmonary or systemic? pulmonary arteries - deoxygenated, darker - - oxygenated by lungs pulmonary veins - oxygenated, brighter systemic arteries - oxygenated, brighter - - deoxygenated at capillary beds systemic veins - deoxygenated, darker - - cycle begins anew
