warm blood
Internal temperature regulation
Warm blood is blood at body temperature, especially as it flows from a wound.
The phrase often emphasizes visceral reality or violence: He felt warm blood running down his face.
It can also suggest vitality or passion, contrasting with the coldness of death or emotional detachment. (Warm-blooded describes animals that regulate their own body temperature.)
