in any natural form.

Thanks for listening.

You're claiming Andorians aren't natural?

 

[cKGunslinger]

No, no, no. You see, it's blue when it's in your veins, and quickly turns red when oxygen hits it!

Well...I had a dr tell me once that if your blood is purple, it means it had alot of oxygen and that it was really close to the heart....

All those animals that have haemocyanin as the respiratory pigment have their blood blue when oxygenated. Haemocyanin is the respiratory pigment akin to haemoglobin but hemocyanin has copper as the cofactor instead of iron which you find in haemoglobin.

Animals belonging to class crustacea and those belonging to phylum Mollusca have hemocyanin, and hence they have blue blood.

Some notable crustaceans are crabs, lobsters, shrimps.

Some notable mollusks include Snails, whelks. mytilus, oysters, chitons, squids, sepia, octopus.

Limulus, called a horseshoe crab, also has hemocyanin.

How do you pronounce that?

Is it horse-showned or horshoe-owned?

I take a medicine which one of the possible side effects is turning your blood green.

Do you also lose all emotion and turn extremely logical in your thought processes?

Yes, but I don't think that's from the drug

I read it as horse-owned. :biggrin:

 

[Dumac]

Yeah, I meant human blood. Sorry for the ambiguous thread title.

I'm just tired of people swearing to me that human, oxygen-deficient blood is blue.

No, it's blue when it's in your veins and then when it hits the air it turns red. Its called the Coriolis Effect. It's the same thing that gives Mars its color.
