| Since blood veins display themselves in a blue color outside our skin as they display in a red color if exposed outside the skin, what types of effects or symptoms would apply onto our respiratory systems and blood cycle? Just a question. |

Actually, you aren't as smart as a canadian 5th grader. First of all, blood cells ARE purple, they just become red after they meet oxygen or get outside. That's it. |

| Lepado12. Your blood touched oxygen as soon as it is created, you didn't forget that blood also carries oxygen around the body right? |

| Blood is NEVER blue/purple. It appears blue because you're looking at them through your skin, and it doesn't reflect light very well. The "Blood is blue" is just a false rumor, and if any one of your teachers are teaching you that they should get fired. |

Lemme explain this, I am doktor.
So, those blue blood vessels you can see are called veins. They carry non-oxygenated blood to the lungs to be re-oxygenated. From there, blood is carried in higher pressure blood vessels known as arteries that are deeper under the skin and are red. The reason blood is red when outside the body is because it's being exposed to oxygen int he air. It turns red because the oxygen oxidizes, like how metal rust, same concept. |

| Blood turns dark without oxygen. The oxygen held in the blood gives it the red color. |

| Human blood cells don't even have DNA I don't think which is very strange in the animal kingdom |

| All I'm basically saying is what if the blood "displays" itself as if it was purple and what side-effects would it cause to an organism. In addition, this question was only said out for the sakes of my curiosity. |
