what happens to the old blood when our bodies make new blood?
-------------------------------------------------------
answers:
Jess say: It goes back through the heart and gets reoxygenized, and is then sent back through the body; this process continues even when the body makes new red blood cells.

MARK say: Our body does not 'make' new whole blood as your question infers. New blood cells are synthesised (made) in the bone marrow. Older blood cells are removed from the circulation, e.g. red blood cells by the spleen, or may be destroyed during an infection. Their parts are recycled or excreted.

curtisports2 say: The 'old blood' goes nowhere. It's a continuous process. The spleen and liver both work on breaking down worn out red blood cells (average life of 120 days) and recycling the components to be reused by the body. Waste products are eliminated in both solid and liquid forms by the liver, intestines, kidneys....

Cal King say: They die and they are recycled. Red blood cells only live a short life. They have no nucleus so they cannot replicate themselves. New ones must be made to replace them.

oikoσ say: The liver recycles the cells for the iron. The waste colors our feces.
