Excerpt from First Principles of Medicine
The color of the blood is caused by red particles diffused through a transparent fluid which is called serum (whey), from its resemblance to that fluid when blood is first drawn the red particles may be seen floating about by the means of a microscope, but when it stands they settle down to the bottom and form a cake or clot (called cruor or crassamentum).
Some capillaries are too small to admit the red particles unless when they are enlarged by inflammation, as in the eye, which when inflamed changes from white to red; besides that, even the red capillaries are so minute that they are not visible Individually to the naked eye till enlarged by inflammation.
