[edit] Translation into Chinese Wikipedia

Most part of this article (except the capitel Common Diseases) of the 03:19, 7 May 2008 Marlith version is translated into Chinese Wikipedia.--Philopp (talk) 19:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Venous color

There seems to be some confusion about the color of veins here. The blood within veins is definitely dark red, and the bluish color one sees is due to the way light scatters through the skin. I'm not 100% confident on the exact particulars of this phenomenon - this article covers it nicely, but I'm not expert enough to properly incorporate it here. In the meantime, I've reverted this section back to what looks like the most accurate state (it was erased some time ago, but it shouldn't have been...). Samworf (talk) 06:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
