it is blood that is rich in carbon dioxide rather than oxygen on the way back to the heart . the oxygen has been delivered to the body and carbon dioxide has replaced the oxygen.
Blood that has released its oxygen. It is dark red in color with a tinge of blue. It is a common misconception that deoxygenated blood is blue. Oxygen bonds to hemoglobin in the blood cells and is transported to where it is needed in the body where it exchanges with carbon dioxide. Deoxygenated blood is found in veins and in the pulmonary artery.
