I don't think it's controversial to presume that most people understand blood to be the opaque, dark red, viscous liquid that is pumped through the circulatory system. That fluid is very different from the thin, watery, red-tinged, translucent liquid that might be found in muscle tissue.

Actually, the stuff found in muscle is called either interstitial fluid or lymph. It is exactly the same thing as blood, minus the blood cells. It comes from the blood and is eventually returned back to the blood.

  >It is exactly the same thing as blood, minus the blood cells. This is like saying that tea is exactly the same as water, minus the tea. I'm not sure what your point is.

    Since most people talk about meat bleeding, I don't really think most people make a big distinction between the two things to begin with. And it is blood, minus some of the components. The fluid portion is identical.

No kidding, that is precisely what I'm arguing about. >And it is blood, minus some of the components. I still don't understand your point. It is _not_ blood. Water is the same thing as chicken noodle soup, minus some components. Water is not the same thing as chicken noodle soup.

        From your original comment: I don't think it's controversial to presume that most people understand If you want to say that you personally see a huge distinction here, that's fine. But you are claiming to describe what most people think, and I think you are wrong. I've learned a lot about the body over the years. I found it interesting to know that there isn't really some clear cut, black and white distinction between various fluids in the body. They actually have substantial overlap and interplay. It's just something I found interesting and most people seem to not know it. Have a great day. If that doesn't clear this up, then it's really not worth arguing further.
