Bright red blood is a sign of highly oxygenated blood. Pain, fast pulse rate and rapid respirations are generally the cause. Bright red blood is also a sign that an artery has been severed.
Blood is red because it contains a chromophore (colored compound) called heme. The electronic structure of heme is such that it can reversibly bind certain other molecules, one of which is oxygen. The oxy-heme complex is bright red.
If the blood came from an artery, it was probably already bright red. If it came from a vein, the heme will be a sort of dark purplish-red, but as soon as it hits the oxygen in the atmosphere, it will bind and form the bright red oxy-heme complex, so regardless of where you cut yourself, the blood is going to be bright red.
When you give blood at a blood bank, the blood is drawn from a vein, and flows into a bag which keeps the oxygen out. This blood will be the dark purplish-red color of the deoxygenated heme.

Blood is bright red when its hemoglobin is oxygenated.
The blood cells present in blood are mainly Red blood cells (also called RBCs or erythrocytes) and White Blood Cells including leukocytes and platelets.The most abundant cells in vertebrate blood are red blood cells. These contain hemoglobin, an iron- co containing protein, which facilitates transportation of oxygen by reversibly binding to this respiratory gas and greatly increasing its solubility in blood.
