: an exaggerated reaction to the male-oriented ''shoot-'em-up games''. noun. A movie or TV program with much gunplay and violence: gambled for cigarettes, slurped Tang or watched shoot-'emups on TV (1953+)
Circulatory system. The human circulatory system (simplified). Red indicates oxygenated blood carried in arteries, blue indicates deoxygenated blood carried in veins. Capillaries, which join the arteries and veins, and the lymphatic vessels are not shown.
Since arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart and veins carry oxygen-depleted blood back to the heart, some people believe that veins appear blue because blood without oxygen is blue. But it's not true! Blood is always red. Oxygen-rich blood is bright red as it leaves the heart.
