The term âblue bloodâ means a person of noble birth. It is an idiomatic expression that originated in Spain, referring to the paleness of aristocrats who had never married into Moorish or Jewish families. In medieval Europe the nobility did not work for a living, and so remained untanned by the sun and wind of the fields.
Each hemoglobin protein is made up subunits called hemes, which are what give blood its red color. More specifically, the hemes can bind iron molecules, and these iron molecules bind oxygen. The blood cells are red because of the interaction between iron and oxygen. When the iron is oxygenated(Fe+3), it becomes red. When the iron is deoxygenated(Fe+2), it becomes blue. This is why your veins are blue. When hemoglobin is carrying a lot of oxygen (like when just leaving the lungs), blood is bright red.
