The color of blood is a function (normally) of the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin. Less oxygen means the blood will be closer to blue than red.
Dark red blood flowing from a wound indicates bleeding from the veins. Applying direct pressure to the wound can help to stop the flow of blood.
This can happen. Its suggested the continual bleeding, dark blood or frequent discomfort followed by bleeding should be checked with a doctor
Occult blood test. Bright red is fresh blood.........Dark red is old blood.
It all depends where the bleeding occurs. If the bleeding is in the stomach or small intestine, the blood will likely be clotted by the time it reaches the anus, and that will make the feces dark in color and tarry in consistency.If the bleeding is in the rectum or anus, then you will see fresh blood on what is otherwise normal feces.
This would be arterial bleeding - bright red pertains to oxygen-rich blood and the squirting is because of the pressure from the heart. Venous blood will appear dark, and oxygenated blood from the arteries will appear bright red in color.
Blood will run out not squirt and will be dark der in colour because it's oxygen poor.
If blood appears dark, that is an indicator that it is not fresh. If a person is seeing dark blood in their urine or stool, they should see a doctor immediately. It is possible that there is a serious problem.
Yes, venous bleeding is typically dark red in color. This is because venous blood, which returns to the heart, has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide and lower levels of oxygen compared to arterial blood. The darker color is a result of this lower oxygen content. In contrast, arterial blood is usually bright red due to its high oxygen content.
The three types of external bleeding are arterial, venous, and capillary bleeding. Arterial bleeding is characterized by bright red blood that spurts out with each heartbeat, indicating a severed artery. Venous bleeding involves dark red blood that flows steadily from a cut vein, while capillary bleeding, the least severe, features oozing blood from small vessels and is often seen in minor cuts and scrapes. Each type requires different first aid responses based on the severity and source of the bleeding.
It is common to have light bleeding and cramps in the early stages of pregnancy. The blood is usually a dark almost brown. But not always.
For the most part, a simple scrape will give you what's called "Capalary bleeding", surface bllod vessels that will not cause any life threatening problems. Other possibilities would be Arterial bleeding (bleeding from an artery - possibly life thretening) where the blood will be bright red and will spurt from the wound in time with the heartbeat. Also would be Veinous bleeding (bleeding from a vien) where the blood will be very dark red or purple, and will flow freely.
no thats why its dark ...
