If I get cut in space, what color would my blood be

I KNOW THAT BLOOD IS ACTUALLY BLUE INSIDE BUT CHEMICAL REACTIONS OCCUR WITH THE OXYGEN. SO, WHAT IF I WERE I N SPACE?

Your blood would be dark or bright red, depending on where you were cut and how deep.

Oxygenated blood (arterial blood) is bright red in color, due to the high levels of hemoglobin. Deoxygenated blood (venous blood) is dark red in color. Human blood, no matter if it's inside or outside of the body, is NEVER blue.

I need to know where these answers are found.

Red, possibly a slightly darker (almost purple) red if it was deoxygenated. This is ignoring the effects of space (assuming, from your question, you just want to know how it would be without oxygen) on it, anyway. By the way deoxygenated isn't blue, let alone all blood inside you.

Your blood is red on the inside, dark in veins and bright in arteries. If you have ever seen blood drawn into an evacuated (no air) tube, you would see that it is red. Veins appear blue because of the way light scatters.

hell that is a good question ! best I have seen in yahoo answers all day .

I guess this is easely answered .

We had have female astronauts right ? what do they say?
