Why is it that blood in your extremities is light red and smells like iron, while blood deep near your organs is almost black and smells awful? I heard that oxygenation is a factor but what are the other factors?

May 4, 2024 13:54 Because of the hemoglobin in our body it containd iron and the iron reacts to oxygen as why it gives our blood a red color. |

|
May 4, 2024 13:56 The blood near our organs is almost black because of the lack of oxygen |

May 4, 2024 14:47 I feel like this topic is a veiled attempt to get us to ask you what it was like when you got stabbed in the alley that one time. |
|
May 4, 2024 19:01 Because the blood near your organs takes longer to come near the surface, the blood in your hands feet neck etc will leave faster hence travels faster so fresher in a sence |

But why is the smell so different?? It can’t just be a lack of oxygen that makes it smell bad right? |

May 5, 2024 07:30 Its just had time to age in a sense. Like wine drink it as soon as you open it and it's like vinegar, but let it sit and its a totally different experience. |

May 11, 2024 20:47 What ages red blood cells I think it just has to do with getting older. |
|

Adrenochrome is made from baby's blood which celebrities use to make themselves look younger, yet they say vampires don't exist in this world. |

Adrenochrome is oxidized adrenaline and causes psychotic episodes, and might play a role in schizophrenia. |

May 16, 2024 01:22 Dang, oxidized adrenaline~ sounds terrible! We should all volunteer our blood, separate its components in a centrifuge, oxidize the adrenaline, mix it with alcohol, paint a quick pentagram (with the unused blood in the center), then finally light the pentagram on fire and breathe the fumes while holding hands in a circle chanting something stupid. Any suggestions? |
