Bleeding on Mars

[ISAslot]

So if you were outside on mars, and you cut yourself, you would bleed blue blood, right?

 

[J0hnny]

Why would you bleed blue blood?

 

[UDT89]

the oxygen escapes from your blood?

 

[DnetMHZ]

If you were outside on mars you'd be dead.

Well, it depends on if you cut a vein or an artery.

 

[Pliablemoose]

No, at the worst, it'd be dark red.

Blood is never blue, it just looks that way through the skin.

Really? I always thought that unoxygenated blood actually was slightly blue.

FASLE!!! Blood is blue. It is oxygenated but youself the oxygen escapes making it red.

no, your veins are blue because the blood has no oxygen. if you cut a vein it bleeds red cause its hitting the oxygen. unoxygenated blood is blue.

Then, when your DNA finds a way to replicate, you will RULE THE PLANET! muahahaha

No, it's not, trust me, I've drawn gallons of venous & arterial blood, once it isn't visualized through the skin, it's a dark red.

And I've drawn it into a syringe sans O2, so it didn't turn red after being exposed to air.

when you look at a vein, what are you actually seeing ? the vein or the blood in it ? veins aren't really clear are they ?

 

[FFactory0x]

yea i meant unoxygenated blood is blue

Exactly.

the oxygen will not instantaneously boil off from the blood. And the red colour is due to haemoglobin which is based on iron.

If you were outside on Mars and cut yourself you would pop like a baloon because of the pressure difference. 😉

Actually, if you didn't have some kind of pressure suit you would be in for some serious bruising. Also the extreme cold wouldn't be any good for you.

the veins on the cadaver i worked on 3 months ago, the veins were blue. unoxygenated blood is not blue its the vein.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

All you ATOT rabble would bleed red blood, though an aristocrat like myself is another story.

You'd be a popsickle as well

Oxygen doesn't just "leave" your blood if it was exposed to a near vacuum like on the surface of mars. The oxygen is BOUND to the iron in hemoglobin and is removed through another chemical reaction. Its not just simply dissolved in your blood.

Exactly. A human cannot survive on Mars without a pressure suit. The atmospheric pressure on Mars is much less than Earth.

i cant believe this thread has made it this far.
