Dark-red or purple b. containing a relatively small amount of oxygen and a large amount of carbon dioxid. It is contained in the right cavities of the heart, in the systemic veins, and in the pulmonary artery of the adult; in the fetus, all the b. is venous or mixed, except that in the umbilical vein (see arterial b.). As compared with arterial b., venous b. contains from 8 to 12 per cent, less oxygen and 6 per cent, more carbon dioxid.
