I love the way sci show goes About their videos without wasting a single second it is not only satisfying to watch information at a pace where u can comprehend easily unlike some videos which focus on .. slower population, where u have to hit the 2x video speed to get through. Not only they’re to the point, but your sub conscious gets involved too just because they’re aren’t wasting a millisecond of time while talking .. so hats off to the entire crew. And maybe I’m wrong but i think maybe you’re the brother of John Green from crash course history? Best two people on TH-cam for me
I was comparing my bruise to the colors described in the video. Well I guess it's not really a bruise, since rather than have capillaries destroyed, the apheresis machine pumped blood back into my arm outside the vein. So it's got an interesting array of colors as different parts of the spill are getting cleaned up at different rates. Interestingly, it reached its peak intensity after about a full week, and now over ten days later it is beginning to disappear again, with the most prominent parts on the outskirts and the central area is pretty clear.
Longtime Nerdfighter here, had to watch this video as a part of my undergraduate lecture. I got so excited when I saw a SciShow video listed on my course website.
I never used to bruise easy when I was a kid but now I bruise very easily. Different stages of bruises are different colors, red, blue, green, yellow and brown. When they change color it’s because your body is breaking down hemoglobin and then reabsorbing it. Super cool video!
Don't know why this wasn't listed under my Subscriptions when it was first released. This was a particularly noteworthy episode for me, who bruises easily, and seems to always have some technicolor skin showing somewhere..... Nice to hear the Science behind the colorful display! ;-)
All the blood that's extruded from the vessels pools and being constrained to the area of the bruise feels more dense thus harder than the surrounding unbruised area of skin.
KathTea Katastrophy - Corsetiere & Model that's what I assumed, but the strange thing is that I wasn't a patreon subscriber when I clicked on the video then when I went back to scishows homepage it was gone. youtube must have screwed up
I have always wondered what makes bruises change color and why they do. I would have never thought that this occurs because the capillaries break if hit hard enough causing hemoglobin to leak outside of the capillaries. What causes the bruise to change colors such as blue, green, yellow, and brown are because of other particles in our body such as white blood cells and bilirubin interacting with the hemoglobin and breaking it down. It is so interesting that our body performs these activities without us knowing or feeling them happen. I wish this video also talked about why people bruise more easily than others as well. I wonder if it has to do with the individual’s capillary strength or if there is another underlying cause such as age because my mother bruises very easily where as for me it takes a much harder force.
I wonder what I would do if I subscribed to a newspaper and half the time they just went "eh we didn't figure you wanted the news today" and opted out of sending me the paper. Much like how TH-cam's subscription feed works. Seriously, TH-cam, do you think I subscribe to channels because I _don't_ want to see their content? Wtf?
It’s amazing how all pf us watching prolly has a bruise chilling rn, also it’s amazing how our body heals itself without us even knowing it is doing it’s work.
My bruise has every colour in the thumbnail,it's only ONE bruise and I've only had it for a week 😣 also it has some brown. The bruise is on my thigh and it's REALLY big😣
In Portugal, if the bruise is on the eye, when it's blue, we say the person has an "olho à Belenenses" (an eye of Belenenses, Belenenses is what the Clube de Futebol "Os Belenenses" a football club from Lisbon, who's primary color is blue, is commonly referred to). In other countries are there any similar expressions?
@@faroshscale I've heard "shiner" before, but the one I hear most often is "black eye". That's really interesting tho, I guess I hadn't thought of what other languages/countries would use to refer to a bruised eye!
I remember when I was eight I once slammed my head into the plastic overhead of a slide while playing tag. I ended up with a massive egg-like bruise over my left eye and it turned all the colors of the rainbow (or at least all the colors stated in the video). All the colors were kinda mishmashed together too, and the entire reeaaallly frickin hurt lol!
I don't think the capillaries are destroyed, only damaged. At a guess, once clots stop the leaks, the inflow of blood reinflates the capillaries so that new cells can grow back and replace the clots eventually. Don't quote me on that, it's just my best guess. I put no actual research into that.
It’s interesting to see the colours of the bruise change, I call them rainbow bruise😅 was red at first, then turquoise + yellow + green + brown + black!
I recently had a large bruise that turned yellow before it turned green! so do these processes always happen in the order stated in the video or is it possible for Bilirubin to form before Biliverdin?
This is what I wanted to know. Mine went from red straight to yellow. No other colours. Could that be a sign of anaemia? Not enough iron in the blood maybe?
So hickeys are bruises right? that means they would take about the same time to heal as a regular bruise? Are there any ways to help bruises heal faster?
there is actually a video about this. OK I didn't know the different compounds. and my bruises rarely turn brown. but I could've told you the colours when I was 5(only in Dutch, but still). I can do that since i fell everyday. while walking to school, face first in the tiles. thank God I have a thick skin.
I only just found out that the super amazing and awesome guy that does these interesting science videos is related to the author of Papertowns. Kind of slow of me right?
My bruises are always purple, then purple and green, and then green. Skip the first two depending on severity. I usually bruise from small hits or for no discernible reason rather than being beaten up or taking a tremendous fall. They typically take until morning to appear. I'm a klutz; I'm very careful knowing this and thus only have had three stitches from dropping a glass jar on my foot when I was little, and I've never avoided getting them when I really needed to.
so I had this huge bruise on my hand from an IV that wasn't placed inside the vein, but all the way through it. it was red/purple at first, then turned blue very quickly, green,brown and yellowish as it started to fade(this took about two weeks), and then suddenly it started to hurt like hell, I didn't touch it, nothing happened, i was just sitting down, talking to my sister, not even moving the hand, while it started hurting really bad, and it turned dark purple.. even darker and bigger than it had been before.. the pain did go down in a few hours, and then it started to fade from purple to yellow and two days later it was completely gone. what the hell? if the vein would have popped open again, why would the bruise be bigger.. but then disappear MUCH quicker then the first time around? I thought this was weird, and I'm hoping I can get an answer here. :)
I fell, hard, onto the street yesterday. There was instant swelling, but not much color. Was the impact somehow stronger deeper under the surface? The bruise is just starting to show, and my experience tells me it will develop into a stronger color at the surface before it fade. Why is this?
I turn red for an hour, slowly disappearing. I never go through the other bruise stages. Doesn't matter how hard I get hit. Only time I show signs of a bruise is if it gets caught in my nails.
Interesting. Though, mine seem to skip red and green entirely. Ps, I'm not colorblind. Also, they show up VERY quickly. As in, blue/black within minutes. And the yellow and brown lasts for a loooong time. As in, weeks.
QQ: If your ear canals are self-cleaning, why do people with dry earwax have so many problems with wax buildup? Is there some sort of evolutionary advantage?
I got hit by a car the other day while riding my bike. Only my left legs seems to have incurred any injury, but it didn't show any visible signs of it for the first two days, it was just sore. Now I'm starting to show some yellow bruise coloration in the affected areas. Why would it have skipped the early colors of bruise recovery and just skipped straight to yellow?
Where I come from a bruise is called a "Blát merki" which means blue mark since.. well idk why but the time most people see them their either blue or purple sometimes brown which is strange really because.. You always check your bruises.. Like right away..
One time, I was at work and I was walking past the walk-in cooler when someone came out and hit my side with the door handle. But the spot didn't bruise (not right away anyway) but it was very sensitive, my arm would just graze it and there'd be pain. After a week or so, it started to bruise and it wasn't near as painful. Do you know why?
And when you don't bruise, and erythrocytes break down in the bloodstream, the bilirubin and biliverdin get pulled out of the blood in the liver and dumped out the hepatic duct, through the common bile duct, into the small intestine, where they and their metabolites lend the characteristic color to feces. It's not over, though. Some of the bilirubin gets modified by bacteria in the gut and reabsorbed, at which point it gets removed via the kidneys. That component, diluted to typical concentrations, is yellow.
I’m watching this cuz a couple friends and I got drunk and we wanted to see who can hit eachothers Arm the Hardest. Which we both got pretty good hits in cuz Damn was my Arm blue the next day, It’s currently swollen, hopefully it heals Fast on both arms’ and yeah I’ll update y’all when or if it heals until further Notice 🥴🙏🙏
Only bruises I noticed when I was a Young ling I got back then fighting with my elder sibling was from purple, to brown, to blackish colors, and on occasions dark blueish never noticed other bruising colors like yellow and green.
so a follow up to this video...does it help if you rub your bruise to disperse the blood? i used to think that helped, but now that I've watched this video I feel likd it wouldn't...
I got a bruise in my leg while playing. After coming home, I checked out that area, there was no scar even. But it was paining . Can you explain about 'invisible bruises'.
So a couple weeks ago I kinda got a bruise. But like, a killer bruise. Like, over a square foot of solid purple-black along my whole thigh, apparently squashed my femoral vein kinda bruise. That one turned some funky colours... Anyways, it's been two weeks and the discolouration is gone but it's still slightly hard to the touch. Is this a problem? What do I do? Who knows these things?

How long time did it take to fade? It has been faded out?

What about the capillaries? Do they grow back? How much time does it take?

they heal while the bruise is being worked on and then the blood flows. I would guess they heal fast, just on balance of probabilities

Now I'm starting to show some yellow bruise coloration in the affected areas. Why would it have skipped the early colors of bruise recovery and just skipped straight to yellow?
Where I come from a bruise is called a "Blát merki" which means blue mark since.. well idk why but the time most people see them their either blue or purple sometimes brown which is strange really because.. You always check your bruises.. Like right away..
So what is the reason for some people gaining bruises from physical damage more readily than others?
One time, I was at work and I was walking past the walk-in cooler when someone came out and hit my side with the door handle. But the spot didn't bruise (not right away anyway) but it was very sensitive, my arm would just graze it and there'd be pain. After a week or so, it started to bruise and it wasn't near as painful. Do you know why?
Should be gone now
And when you don't bruise, and erythrocytes break down in the bloodstream, the bilirubin and biliverdin get pulled out of the blood in the liver and dumped out the hepatic duct, through the common bile duct, into the small intestine, where they and their metabolites lend the characteristic color to feces.
It's not over, though. Some of the bilirubin gets modified by bacteria in the gut and reabsorbed, at which point it gets removed via the kidneys. That component, diluted to typical concentrations, is yellow.
Is a greenish brown color, normal...-
I've only had green bruises very rarely. Usually, they go from purple to yellow directly
And then, ofc, brown.

Why when you have a bad bruise does the brown "shadow" last for months, sometimes a year, after the bruise has healed?
Can you make a video about back pain?
i got a scrape somehow on my leg and i got a bruise around my cut. and where the bruise once was it left a mark. questionable?
